- Microsoft was found to have breached antitrust rules by South Korea, a ruling that may encourage regulators in Asia to challenge the company’s practice of selling programs in bundles.
Late Buy/Sell Recommendations

Economic Releases
10:30 am EST
- Bloomberg consensus estimates call for a weekly crude drawdown of 1.9 million barrels. Gasoline inventories are estimated to rise 1.05 million barrels and distillate supplies are expected to rise 1.75 million barrels. Finally, refinery utilization is expected to rise .5%.
3:00 pm EST
- Consumer Credit for October is estimated to rise to $5.0 billion versus -$.1 billion in September.
BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are higher, boosted by exporting shares in the region. I expect US equities open mixed and to rally modestly into the afternoon. The Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the day.
