Market recap: Investors sensing that the market's a bit ahead of itself sent stocks slightly lower in lackluster trading, finding little impetus for action amid disappointing earnings from the likes of Dow Chemical and UPS plus mixed economic data (I, II, III).

Go, just go

Who knows. Lots of energy in the market right now but we have run up a lot and the Sequester looms ever closer. We need a good jobs number to keep going up or I think we'll hover here for a while.
But again, who knows.
