pretty surprising how uninterested the market was today after the announcement - granted it was nothing "new" really, but was a good confirmation that things were on track - exactly what stockholders had been wanting since the plunge. But we did get our recovery yesterday so not complaining..almost as if it was already priced it, and today was just some low volume consolidation after yesterday's huge gain. The volume says it all..there were hardly any "big trades" at all.
on another note, the market was pretty harsh on alternatives in general today..i'm in the nasdaq clean index (QCLN), and it took a hit, as well as practically all the alternates on my watch list - especially the solars, which were making a bit of a comeback after their plunge this year. Odd that the market reacted like that after the bush speech yesterday - and it couldn't be just because of the unpopularity of person giving it..
