Monday’s Top Names

Friday’s action, though
choppy, was encouraging in the fact that the day closed strongly.

However, the trends in the indices are still down,
and without a plurality of market bias signals pointing in one direction, we
have to respect that. Hopefully we will get some two-way action like we did a
couple of times in the last week.
