Monday’s Top Names

Friday’s action saw the Dow
Industrials undercut the September low and close at its lowest level since
October of 1998.
If we don’t have some
fear starting to creep into the market psyche at this point, we soon will.
Continue to trade in the direction the big boys want to take this thing, but be
poised for a bounce as volatility reverts back to the mean.
