The major averages showed strong gains and closed strong. Volume was also higher across the board, showing that large institutional players were buying stocks today. All the major averages also made new highs today. The market is acting well, but this is a busy news week. It is the peak week of the earnings season with several potentially market moving reports coming out later this week. There is also the Fed announcement on Wednesday and the summit on Thursday. These events could cause the market trouble if they are not market friendly, but right now the rally is looking pretty good. Jerry
