Intraday Updates:
- 09:45 I really hate shorting NYSE stocks but CME is tempting. Let’s see if we can get some upticks… BOT would be even better, IMHO, if there were any shares to borrow
- 09:55 NTRI is strong in the early going. Looks like it’s headed for a re-test of its October highs
- 09:58 PNRA has my attention as well here
