Sometimes, Flat is Good

After the topsy turvy ride of last week, this Monday was a nice respite. Of course, markets were decidely positive most of the day, but fizzled by the closing bell. Oh, well, sometimes, flat is good. The slight negatives of all indexes was a welcome sight after triple digit losses from last week. The credit markets are still uncertain, and it will take some time for things to settle out. Retail numbers are looking good. For those of us in the heat of Mississippi, that was a surprise. We're staying in out of the triple digit temps! DJIA -3.01 NASDAQ -2.65 S&P 500 -0.72
