Well, the market continues to do dick-all.
It seems that it is allergic to being interesting, since Monday was an absolute carnival and now it’s dead as a doornail once more. As I’m typing these words, the /NQ is up a heart-pounding 0.01% on the heels of what was ostensibly one of the most important earnings reports of the year.
