Good morning folks,
AAPL and YHOO delivered some good news after the close and this morning BA has crushed their earnings setting the tone for some green on the open this morning.
Yesterday was an interesting day as some of the blue chips got whacked from negative earnings out of a few big multinational companies. Small caps actually held up fairly well the IWM and IBB both held their ground. There wasn't a huge spike in volatility indicating a rise in fear. Gold had a decent bounce and oil was down but it seems like it is trying to build a base in this range.
Remember that today is Fed day and while the market may react to whatever the announcement is > earnings will be what drive the markets. We have some more big name reports coming out this week.
