I think we were probably a bit overdone on the upside and there's some profit-taking taking place today.

The commodity was down earlier today because we are seeing a bit of profit-taking on stocks. The market looks like it is stabilizing a little bit. With everything that has happened, people are going to continue looking at different asset classes ? from bonds, to gold, to health care ? largely defensive plays as investors look for safe havens.

I think the Nasdaq was facing a lot of profit taking already. Certainly on the Nasdaq today, the Microsoft issue is hitting stocks in general.

The JSE was lower today on profit taking and the pull back in markets overseas, especially the East. There is no change in the fundamentals.

I expect the index to move sideways today as there's a bit of profit taking.

The weaker tone continues today, as in addition to bearish US inventory data, a slight warming trend is contributing to more brazen selling.
