A Lazy Monday

The markets have started flat this morning. The Dow is up a "pinch," and the NASDAQ has eased up a "smidgeon." Nothing to show clear direction. The news is quiet, no big earnings announcements, no big scandals. I think we're in a holding pattern. Maybe, it's the start of the lazy, hazy days of summer. That time when trading volume drops, and financial news is sluggish. The only big news today is that MCI's stockholders are upset about the Verizon deal. Qwest is back in the game! Will this EVER be settled?
