Strange Thursday

It's a rainy day in Mississippi. Retailers had clouds over them today, as most reported less than stellar sales for the holidays. Target appears to be a bright spot, while Wal Mart is ho-hum. Large caps barely eked out gains today, but techs soared. NASDAQ added more than 1% today, with Intel being a big winner-- finally! The big U.S. automakers are still crying the blues, and Toyota is still making headway among U.S. consumers. Toyota plans to build another plant in the South, giving new meaning to American made. Dow +6.17 NASDAQ +30.17 S&P 500 +1.74
