The markets had a very intriguing and interesting session.  Despite the fact that the indices were mostly lower, a lot of our stocks were up today.  Advance-declines on Nasdaq were up versus down on the NYSE, so it was a very mixed picture.

Wall Street had an afternoon sell-off that broke the mid day consolidation patterns and took the blue chip indices to pretty sharp losses, particularly on the Dow and S&P 500.

The indices had a plus session, but they sure closed way off their highs.

The markets had a negative session on Thursday, closing near the low end of the range for the day. But it was a volatile day, as the indices opened sharply lower on negative futures, tested the first line of support, bounced quite nicely in the morning, and backed and filled late morning.

The markets had a decent follow-up session to yesterday's big move, but it came after some early morning weakness.

It was as good a day as it gets. The indices gapped up, ran hard all morning, consolidated mid-day, vacillated around the FOMC announcement and then exploded in the afternoon, particularly late in the session when they ran hard into the close, closing at the highs for the day going away.

The market was down and dirty to start the week, but it looked even worse beneath the surface. Despite the fact that the indices weren't down too terribly, individual stocks looked a lot worse, and it felt like the indices were down a lot steeper.

The stock market indices started out ugly and ended that way, but they had a nice move intraday earlier, though unfortunately finished near the low for the day on the blue chips.

It was an exceptionally bullish session for the stock market today, with the indices gapping up at the opening.

The markets had a very negative session to start out the week, only showing positive results early in the session.
