Quote for the Day:

The agenda of Christian conservatives is, relatively speaking, limited, and they believe much of it can be accomplished through the federal courts. Broadly speaking, they want to control the right of women to have abortions; to ban all forms of gay marriage; to prevent the teaching of safe sex in schools; to encourage home schooling; to ban the use of contraceptives; to halt stem cell research with human embryos; to stop the teaching of evolution and/or to start the teaching of intelligent design; to bring God into the public square and eliminate the separation of church and state; to overturn the legality of living wills; to control the sexual content of cable and network television, radio, and the Internet; and to eliminate an "activist" judiciary that limits or impinges on their agenda, by placing God-fearing judges on the bench who will promote their sincerely held beliefs.

1. Stocks ripping today, anything with any growth in it is up

WMT, INTC, GOOGL. Even laggards are up NKE, DIS, as are small caps with any story to them. It's getting so half the days markets are open are no good to trade. Everything just trends all day. And that because of impending or recent important news, holidays, Fed announcements/meetings.

It's easier to just index and sit and wait. Large cap growth is where it's at, been moving like this since Nov1 last fall.
