Late-Night Trading
Asian Indices -1.25% to +1.0% on average.
S&P 500 indicated +.11%.
NASDAQ indicated -.03%.
BOTTOM LINE: I expect U.S. stocks to open modestly higher in the morning on a fall in oil prices and carryover from today's afternoon rally. I would expect to see more investor complacency before the current rally runs its course. The Portfolio is 125% net long heading into trading tomorrow.
