I came in bearish on the day (I blame "the Fly") and just couldn't believe it when we turned around and went positive with that "V" bottom at around 10:00am. We spiked up to the top part of the opening range, based for a minute and spiked even higher. At that point, I just couldn't step in and buy so I turned my computer off, and head to the beach for some nice surf.

Fuck this light volume market...

Still, even though the VO got smoked today, there was money to be made in the materials and coal stocks. My main office did okay, with 70% of the guys being positive, and a few making some nice cake.

I'm at a loss to understand what's driving this market higher. This low volume rally reminds me of the same crap we got this time last year... hopefully, we get a pickup in volume soon.

Again, I look to the start of earnings season to help us out.

I don't undertand this whole "office" thing. Can you 'splain, Loosy?


Also, what's with the guy trading 60k shares to make $300?

Sounds like a recipe for an early grave.
