Economic data is ruling the roost today, sending the major market indices dipping into the red as many investors are seeing a modest cause for concern. Retail sales figures rose in July (aided by strong results in the automobile and gasoline segments), but business inventories are moving higher as well, which hints at an economic slowdown. The nation's economists are now forecasting U.S. gross domestic product growth at an annual rate of 2.8 percent for the third quarter. This is the first time the forecast has been below 3.0 percent since November 2005. As a result, the SPX has dipped 0.56 percent on the session, with only 22 percent of its components in positive territory. Tenet Healthcare (NYSE:THC) is receiving a bit of follow-through today after the company reported solid earnings on Thursday. In fact, the shares are topping the SPX hot list for a second session in a row today, gaining more than four percent to add to yesterday's advance of 13.38 percent. However, the stock appears to be stalling at long-term resistance at the seven level.

ADCT was last up nearly four percent, while ANDW has plunged another six percent today.
