All the major market indices in both the U.S. and Canada have pulled back to their April levels. Most of that correction has taken place just within the last month. I wouldn't interpret one volatile day that happened to finish on the upside as a positive market reaction.

nor do i.

i just find it fascinating that the bulls can push the market positive, and make money on a day with no positive economic news or forcasts.

In the doc's waiting room this AM, people are concerned about $3 a gallon gas again.

We should be so lucky it only goes to 3 bucks.

gas'll be pushing $4 by next summer.
this $100 a barrel oil won't hit our supply line for several months...

back on topic... note how the stock market, after being down triple digits all day, finished up on a late rally tuesday DESPITE all the bad economic news, but then plunged 100 points the very second the market opened weds morning, and finished down over 200 pts.

if that isn't the bulls attempting (feebly) to artificially manipulate the market, i don't know what is!
