3pm update - the closing hour of April

With the FOMC (not surprisingly) announcing QE-taper'4, the market is coping very well, and looks set to make a play for the sp'1890s in the remainder of this week. Metals remain choppy, Gold -$4, with Silver -1.8%. VIX is set to melt lower into the 12s.

Summary

*I just earlier dropped one of the 3 driller stocks I have - DO, (very sig' gain), will try to have the patience to hold RIG and SDRL into Friday afternoon.

Well, it has been a cruel tease of a month for the equity bears, I'm still hopeful we'll see that down wave this summer.

Market looks set to close the month with moderate gains for the sp'500.

3.08pm.. minor chop..and we're back <1884. Hmm

Regardless of the exact close, it has been a day for the equity bulls. Is it pretty noticeable that the equity bears just simply failed to show up today.

VIX reflects it, -1.7% in the 13.40s.


3.22pm.. market a touch weak...still stuck <1884...although it was fractionally broken earlier.

I'm getting a little twitchy..seeking to drop a second driller.. SDRL....

3.39pm.. EXITED SDRL,  indexes look moderately vulnerable into tomorrow...I can buy back cheaper!


3.45pm... Hmm...a bit of a messy end to the day..and month. Market now rallying again...making a play to close >1884.

3.49pm.. EXITED RIG...  I've dropped all 3 drillers, will look to pick up 2 or 3 tomorrow on ANY pull back.

Market seeing minor chop...a touch of weakness seems likely, but certainly, net monthly gains..overall for the sp'500.
