$$ - Okay, so Thursday's decline was basically erased today after Bernanke said (again!) that the Fed was ready to do whatever.
Surprise, surprise.
For the month of August, the Nasdaq led and was up 4%. The SP500 was up 2%, and the Dow was up .6%. The risk-on trade was on!
It's the end of August and beginning of a new month. Usually, the market is stronger as money gets dollar-cost averaged into mutual funds.
It's a 3-day weekend. Enjoy!
