After four straight afternoon fades in the stock market and one neutral day, the bulls FINALLY were able to overcome a gap down open and closed near the highs for the day on Friday.

You can find it on your dial here, http://nbr.com/. In all likelihood we will be discussing what I see down the road as we begin the new quarter and second half of the year with earnings season beginning next week. Stocks are beginning the quarter with the bulls in charge. Will […]
