Good morning all, welcome back from your weekend. I hope it was a great one for you all. My Saturday was filled with "running around" as the wife is gathering things to take with her on her trip to spend a week with her father in NJ. With her mom already having passed, she really enjoys her yearly visit with her dad. So, we were getting her geared up for that. (NOTE>> She flies out Tuesday, but it shouldn't interrupt my usual posting times)

Well Now!  

Last night was like Earnings central for the "big guys" meaning Amazon, Alphabet ( google) Microsoft and Intel.  The bottom line is that all of them did really well on their earnings releases and the street has reacted in a big way.

Good morning everyone, welcome to Wednesday. 

Yesterday was a roller coaster ride of up and downs in a relatively narrow range. I lost count of how many times we dipped red/went green/went red. But when it was all over and the final bell had rung, we had finally eeked out a green close on both the DOW and the S&P. While it wasn't gangbusters, we got 39 DOW points and just about 1.5 on the S&P.

Good morning all, welcome back from your weekend. I truly hope it was a good one for you all. I have to admit that for me, it was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. The wife and I had planned this weekend way back in June, to travel to one of our states nicest paved bicycle trails, and stay at a historic bed and breakfast. Well, the weather was perfect, the trail nicer than we expected, the B&B a sheer delight, and all in all...it was great. I wish I could do it every weekend!

But now we're back in the saddle, so let's take a look at where things stand.
