Mr. Market must be checking his list twice, because the market is unwilling to make a decisive move in any direction. Today I thought we might actually see a strong upward move, but any momentum that seemed to be there, quickly evaporated. Personally, I did quite alright. My position in Apple (AAPL) continues to

After a strong performance by the bulls yesterday, the market is flat-lining a bit as US Futures have shown little movement in either direction.

Another weak opening for the market with futures struggling similar to  yesterday’s pre-market action. Right now the Dow Futures is down 68 points, Nasdaq down 11, and S&P down 8. Overnight Asian markets were mixed but on average down about 0.4%, and European markets are trading down about 1% currently. No economic reports to watch
