Happy Mid-week everyone! Stocks took a bit of a hit yesterday w/ indexes falling a % in weaker trade and all while gold/silver followed suit tapering off to $1,258.09/$15.41. I had to laugh this AM when I check out today's stock futures and saw that my conflict yesterday "(pointing either up or down)" continues today but w/ the directions reversed (?!).
