Good Evening, The market started off slow this morning and then spiked on dovish comments by Fed member James Bullard. Stocks remained high until late in the after noon and then sold off sticking with the current trend of weak closes. The trend of poor closes is not something that we want to see continue. It often leads to more serious market behavior down the road. Nevertheless, we remain in no mans land for now. A lot of the charts for individual stocks that I’m looking at are bullish. So I’m feeling that there is still a little money to be made heading into the spring. Then we’ll need to take a close look at it….
