OPTIONSMART MORNING UPDATE:  Managed to erase intra-day losses

1. OUTLOOK: The market started to form a bottom. Nervous investors continued to worry that the market rally may have outpaced any recovery. With little else on tap to provoke investors in any direction, trading remained largely rangebound. The nation's chain stores will be releasing August sales report this morning. Investors will be looking to see if the stock rally and signs of recovery in the economy have had any impact on consumer spending. Stocks struggled for a bottom. The market needs a reason to move higher. QQQQ' implied valatility inched higher. U.S. futures point to a higher open.
