Yea! Thursday!

I don't know why, but markets took a jump up today. They say you should never look a gift horse in the mouth, but this one is curious. Oil prices did not fall. In fact, everyone is wondering what will happen this winter as we all try to heat our homes with natural gas and oil. Predictions are for sticker shock in a few months when we get those heating bills. I guess it's time to get out my long johns. Despite concern for oil, markets responded nicely today to an upcoming weekend with no storm on the horizon. Tech stocks had the best showing, with the NASDAQ up over 1%. Dow +79.69 NASDAQ +25.82 S&P 500 +10.79
