Sometimes you have to step away from the market for a few days, to realize just what's happened. And as I sit here Monday morning surveying last week, I now realize what a strange, volatile week it truly...
Forget the trend channel: market show no quit!
I'll make this short and sweet: I thought the top of the trend channel would trap the S&P and it'd sell off. Said as much this past Friday. Uh, that didn't happen and instead the averages went up and...
