Good Evening, The market was mixed today as the Dow and S&P 500 posted small gains and the Nasdaq finishing slightly in the red. However, all three indexes did manage gains of around 0.70% for the week. Neither Janet Yellen or Mario Draghi had anything earth shattering to say today so the the market resumed it’s summer churning. That’s really it. Now we will wait for the next market moving event to take place which will most assuredly be an attempt to pass tax reform on capital hill.
