Market Comments: The market attempted to stage a midday breakout, but quickly reversed lower. The SPX and COMP are putting in negative outside days so far, a bearish sign. The market is at fairly overbought levels also, so we could see more of a pullback from these levels. It might not be a bad idea to lock in a few profits here. Let's see how the market fares in the closing hour.
