Have to try to keep a level head, not too negative, not too positive thats how you handle days like today where the average is up and down, big before covering, not only gaining 158 points. S p climbing. 83 . The nasdaq jumping 1. 43 down so horribly, wow, let me break it down for you. This morning at 4 00 a. M. This market looks horrendous. Down a thousand points why . Nobody really knows. We heard it was because of covid spikes and outbreak in china i was watching the tape and it was all about the same, the big declines in royal caribbean, norwegian cruise, carnival, apache, united, continental, southwest, kohls, everything got crushed last week, everything that always trades before the market opens.

It is interesting because the bulls and the bears have been a little bit of a sideways battle over the last 20 trading days. There all there are higher highs eating that the bulls might have strength, but the s p 500 relative to the big rally out of march really has not done much net.
