Thanks for the opinions guys, I pulled the trigger on both today, XOM and INTC. Both were up slightly. INTC is high beta, XOM low, so maybe they'll even out. Sorta like eating a candy bar with a Diet Coke, ha.
There's an obscure indicator I use that's fairly reliable (MACD-DEMA smoothed), and it showed a buy signal on the S&P 500 chart today. Possibility of a short-term rally.....
