Good Evening, Recovering tech stocks along with good retail numbers led the stock market higher today after several days of less than stellar action. Better than expected preliminary unemployment numbers also buoyed the buying. As I said in my last blog, the weak action the past several sessions caught me by surprise. While weakness in December is not unheard of it is definitely not the norm. I was really thankful that we were able to get back on track today and am hopeful that we can end 2017 on a positive note!
