Wednesday Picks

At end of day 2/27/2008:

The market monitor indicates that more stocks decreased in value than stocks that increased in value, yet the net increase outweighed the net decrease. This indicates that investors were bullish today, but they were selective in the stocks chosen. Since the previous two days were bullish, this could the a start of a few bearish days.
