Happy Friday

Good morning Folks 
We had a nice consolidation day yesterday and the markets held up a bit better than I thought they would. We are flashing red premarket >However, Janet Yellen speaks this afternoon and there is a possibility that she says something that could give the markets reason to celebrate.
She may say the word "Flexible" which could then send the market up 1000 points >> I am kidding of course but hey you never know.
It is the last Friday of the month and the first quarter is coming to an end so I am expecting more of a range trading, consolidating type of day once again heading into the weekend.
