AS I SEE IT: Traders have made a lot of money trading this straight up market. This was another up day even though the gains were not very big. Lower Oil prices helped the Transports gain 68.96 points and that helped everything move up. Tomorrow the Jobs Report will set the tone for the day.

Trading today was good in the S&P market because the buy signal held all day. The nice day-trades for Soaring Phoenix were in the Grains and Oil market.
