“There are currently no stocks that meet the Stocks on the Move criteria.” I don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

A very happy day to all, even if maybe a bit more "adventurous" than we'd prefer. Trading direction seems in flux, maybe they're nervous about the FOMC Rate Decision after the MBA Mortgage Index and Crude Inventories.

Huh. Well we did have a sharp reversal during the day, then again it may have been just that the IBD-StocksMove guy was late coming back from lunch. Just the same, I hadn't seen that so mucho tx for the heads up.
