So the FOMC Statement has come and gone and it convinced investors to rally the market 16 points on the Nasdaq and 9 points on the S&P. There is obviously a ton of euphoria behind this market and its stubborn move upwards, and if you remember back in late January, the market was doing the
Wouldn’t say that today was a great day for the bears, but it’s better than the bulls finding some hokey-pokey reason to run the tables on us today. Tomorrow we have the jobless claims and should set the tone heading into the open. I’ve noticed some shooting stars on the indices of late and could

We are at the midway point of the first week of the new year, and things are only going to start getting a little more interesting heading into tomorrow's jobless claims, and Friday's employment number.
