The Dow closed up 82 points, all other indices in the green, so it was a great day right? If you were day trading some individual stocks, maybe. Otherwise, it was nothing too exciting. Tomorrow is options expiration Friday, and anything can happen, but sentiment seems to be a gap up-flat trade day. I wouldn’t bet the farm on that, but short term moves are tough to get a handle on, options ex. or not. The XLF closed above $21, but just barely. The RTH closed higher than yesterday, but still under the trendline. Oil prices traded from $113.40 to $116.25. The US Dollar is still hanging in there, but I’m not optimistic (sorry, Karl). Here’s a daily chart of the Dow, and we’ll see you later this evening!
