Twitter Thursday

What will the stock market do today? That is the question every day. One day it's up, the next day its down. Hopefully trends will emerge that investors can hang their hat on. As last year's wild ride ended with the stock market advancing the last 3 quarters of the year, investors naturally wondered if the trend would continue into the next year. So far, 2010 has been a little dicey. New government regulations for banks has sent the stock market retreating and it's waiting for positive earnings from corporations to turn things around.
