EmailThe stock market was all over the place today. The morning brought out the bears and we were able to make a quick $200 bucks. Then the market went flat going into the 11 am reversal time and we ended up giving back the majority of our gains. I was barely able to stay in the black going into lunch. Then the golds and energy stocks made their late day move and we were able to capitalize on this strength.
Total Gains for the day: $308.01
