Where Are Today’s Gains Coming From?

Looking through screens of companies, the general view I’m getting for today is decidedly mixed. However, most of what I own is being crushed. We have REITs continuing to plunge, there’s big losses being taken in consumption goods, and not much life elsewhere.

The only real pattern seems to be blue chips, which are going higher. HD, XOM, etc (no banks) are pushing up. Most else looks like it’s dropping down.

Oil is following the DOW which is making my day rather unpleasant; I had figured a red market meant red oil.

Actually, come to think of it, this is the perfect end to a real dick week. I should have expected no less.

I’m calling it an afternoon. See you all Monday.
