AS I SEE IT: The Dow did rally up 81.55 points at the high today, but immediately started selling off until it was 32.77 points lower on the day. About 2 hours before the close it started to rally again closing up 48.39 points.

This morning on CNBC, Boone Pickens said that Oil could move on up to the 70.00 to 75.00 dollar level. Within a minute the Oil market started to rally, and it soared on up over 2.00 dollars to a high of 66.46 before closing at 66.03. Even with the rally in the Oil market, the Dow and the S&P closed stronger, so Window Dressing is in full swing.
