We're off and running.... 4 days to go. The big question, will the market "behave" or is there more wild volatility to come?

LOL; Should have stayed with AAPL.. Yes, they looked good after hours, but when you sell 39 million cellphones, someone has to finally say they have their act together. Should have been a larger bump after hours imo

True. And maybe; but so far today they are off to the races.

Suspect it would not take much (if any bad news) to send the markets back down again. Talk about volatility, whew!
