Trading was choppy today but at least the bulls can say that the indices ended on the upside and that they fianlly reached oversold territory. I think that oil’s early weakness and subsequent rally had a lot to do with the slide the indices had intraday today. Apple and Yahoo also helped to drag down the Nasdaq and especially the underperforming Nasdaq-100 today.
