Market wrap - 4:15
WOW, again. What appeared to be another huge move to the downside, the market turned around 2:00 and drove higher. 22 points higher on the S&P and over 100 on the Dow. Incredible. Why? Who was buying? Questions we will never find answers to I'm willing to bet, but is sure looks funny to this trader.

Test - does anyone read this blog? - 4:39 pm
I see hits but I don't know if anyone really reads this. I do it as reference and a place to store information I may want to re-visit in the future. I just add comments in case someone drops in.
If people do actually read this, I would consider adding a few things, and doing a few more comments.
Thanks, and happy trading.
