Summary

*A somewhat understandable choppy closing hour, as some were bailing into the close, but with the bulls managing a daily close in the 1840s.

No doubt, there will be a lot of doom talk across many sites tonight. Yet really...anyone just needs to go stare at a weekly/monthly chart. The primary trend remains...UP.

Certainly, if Ukraine starts shooting down planes..things get way more wild..and VIX 20s would be a given.
