When investing in the stock market, we always want to approach it as "a market of stocks."

The dollar is rising, and it's above its 200-day moving average. $SPY is still under resistance at 440.60.

I'll be truthful, not many names are interesting to me. Retail is taking a beating.

Maybe we can bottom-fish, although it's very risky.

It's a very sloppy and choppy market, and it's hard to trade.

$SPY closed its opening gap up.

The largest insider transaction on today’s list comes in a Form 4 filed by Kelcy Warren, chairman and CEO of Energy Transfer Partners $ET.

On Monday morning I said $SPY could have potential to 441, and on Tuesday morning we're there.

That was a nice reversal yesterday off the 435 level, and now the question is will we push to 444.
