Friday’s Top Names

Wednesday’s bullish tails
failed to follow through Thursday.

The one upside is that the sell off did not
take place on particularly high volume. We do have a CVR I buy signal tonight,
but with only one signal that does not give much of a bias. The charts are a
better indication, which tonight shows the trend is still down. As always,
however, be prepared to “go where the oil is.”
