Getting warmer and warmer...

I feel like the market is playing the "warmer, colder" game. We're trying to get back to those 2nd quarter highs, and investors are directing us. "You're getting warmer...warmer..ooo! colder! warmer!" Today was a "warm" day. The Dow gained more than 33 points, edging very close to its all-time high. And all this in spite of Ford's announcements about its buy-outs and the shutting down of two more plants. Speaking of heat, the fires in the Northwest have slowed, and that deserves a hearty "Welcome home!" to the residents of Montana, Washington, and Oregon. This is the perfect day to start my sunshine-filled weekend! DJIA: +33.38 Nasdaq: +6.86 S&P 500: +3.59
