I like the way Briefing.com stated the NSM report. <<13:00 ET Dow -2.14, Nasdaq -5.07, S&P -1.02 [BRIEFING.COM] The market is vacillating around the unchanged mark. Selling across the Energy sector (-0.7%) has increased, and the influential Financial (-0.1%) and Technology sectors (-0.2%) are both now sporting losses. The yield on the 10-year note recently rose to 4.75%, and banks are now facing selling pressure. With respect to Tech, semiconductors have erased their morning gain. National Semi (NSM 27.60 -0.43) is particularly weak spot. The company recently released its fiscal third quarter earnings report. Although NSM delivered EPS that beat the consensus estimate by six cents, posted better than expected revenues, expanded its gross margin, and issued upside Q4 revenue guidance, investors appear disappointed. ..NYSE Adv/Dec 1670/1445. ..NASDAQ Adv/Dec 1375/1519.>>
