The futures market, they were down big before even stocks opened for training. The reasons for the decline are something we better get used to, so lets tick down the reasons we decline pretty horribly today. The average has been going up, but underneath there was a difficult rotation. In short, investors had been fleeing certain sectors, running into other sectors. Theyve been fleeing chiefly the industrial sectors, and we saw heavy selling in that group today. For example, in this this morning when i wok at 4 30 i know, i slept in to celebrate the eagles
Tonight the people of New Hampshire chose to put New Hampshire first. A few minutes ago, scott brown called to concede and wish me well.
