NASDAQ Bobs & Weaves

The NASDAQ Composite exhibited quite a bit of grit yesterday, rallying back from more than a 2% drubbing out of the gate to finish down 0.09%. The Composite actually peaked into positive territory three times before coming up just a tad short by the closing bell.

The internals, however, were not, as 232 names closed at 52-week lows and only 38 at 52-week highs. In other words, if the goal of the rout was to reprice stocks, including bringing all the high-flyers down to earth; then mission accomplished.

The selling was intense enough to finally lure buyers off the sidelines, but they were very selective.  Meanwhile, after the close, there were huge moves higher on earnings results, which also underscores the notion stocks are oversold enough to finally celebrate good news.
