Once again, the subtle moves tell a major story, and the theme is resolve and opportunity.

Stocks are holding up nicely.  Investors are doing some bottom fishing, especially in Financials.

But also, in small caps.  We have seen lots of false alarms for the Russell, which hints at rebounding, then fizzles the next day.  

That kind of action is constructive.

Watching and taking notes - this is the grunt work that allows for the best decision -making later.
