Thursday Breather

Markets ticked up today, after two down days. Overseas tension between Iran and Britain still has the pot stirred a bit, but the Dow managed to add nearly 1/2%. Techs were, mainly, flat. Numbers were released for economic growth, and the report was better than expected. We are growing at a 2.5% rate, faster than predicted. Maybe, this is the calm AFTER the storm.
