I thought today was very classic for the charts. Fight between fundamentals and sentiment, I thought. It was up 100+ pts and closed at +3. Its still struggling to cross 12780 from other TAs.

Anyhow, on the Alcoa news, I thought it would plummet in AH, after reading the extent of the loss. But the stock raises 1% AH.

I am really baffled.

I think we peaked.

I've been saying 12,700 was the next peak, with th epossibility of a rise to 13,000. The market behavior today says that we peaked. Even the foreign markets closed up 1% before we opened.

It seems that AA was hurt by rising energy costs, which the market will forgive.

"Hey, things are tough everywhere."

I suspect there will be a delay.
