    One of my habits when writing this newsletter is to hold my Final Thoughts until after the vast majority if not the entire newsletter is complete. At that point I try to absorb what has transpired through the day and many times that day flows well into the evening.

We went from there being too many sellers and not enough buyers to too many buyers and no sellers. Something has changed. Something to watch.
