AS I SEE IT: This market has a little something for everyone. Yesterday the Dow went down 280.28 points and today it rallied 247.44 points. The E-mini S&P was down yesterday 31.50 points and back up 27.25 points today. Some traders think Bernanke is going to save the market from any of the credit problems that exist now. The NYSE volume was light again today, but the E-mini S&P had above normal volume. Late sellers yesterday were stopped out of the market today driving prices higher. Now I’ll be watching to see if month end window dressing is going to continue the rally for a few days, or if more credit worries drive it lower again.
The Soaring
I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!
