We waited in mostly cash on Thursday to see how the market reacts to Bernanke's speech on Friday. It was a volatile day, as the market fell hard in the morning, but, bounced back to green before noon. SPX had a pretty big range: 1,135.91 - 1,181.23, almost 50 points! The market had some strong actions in the afternoon, but, was still unable to close above 1180.

I'll be back on Sunday with my weekly Market Forecast to take a closer look at coming week.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Good night and HappyTrading! ™
