Not too bad a start, but a long four more days to go.  Stocks are so fickle, could be many changes ahead.

[Ombud]

Yeah. This is where I thought I'd be at the end of the week

[kadee79]

And so much for "feelings"...   I went the wrong direction for today at least!

[uncle23]

.....

when unsure I always trust my "feelings" kadee..

[ModE98]

Bad day, down two cents with the market up.  Not a good omen.

FEYE had a good day, but will it continue?  Tough call.  

[Ombud]

Relinquishing the 3rd spot today. Ah well, there's always tomorrow

[Value Buy]

Kroger had a great opening and let it drift away all day, on a day the markets were on fire.
Beat earnings, raised guidance, raised sales forecast and drifted off to oblivion............

[clarkrl2]

Ouch!

[ModE98]

Good grief, what a market today.....

[Ombud]

Giving back the week already
