Well, nobody saw that coming did they?
Prior to Friday, bulls were pleased with the resilience the market showed after weak guidance from this week's big names, and even some bears were commenting that the market seemed intent on heading higher. But then came Friday and that resilience faded fast. I'm neither qualified nor inclined to make any projections as to the market's next move, but I will look forward to this weekend's market commentary as it should provide a lot of ideas. Now then, to the best of RealMoney this remarkably active week.
