Taken individually they can mislead us but taken together they are like high beams who can keep you from straying into the wrong and dangerous lane [ screaming this was a good day for the bulls. Dow gained 3919 points nasdaq advanced 5. 2 more importantly, though, every single stock, on my go list like the go pattern in football, a go list was up today.
