Summary

*ADP jobs: 214k.... 'reasonable', something for the econ-bulls to be relieved about. Ironically, the cheerleaders on clown finance TV are now wondering if the Fed might raise rates at the next FOMC in two weeks!

Market is set to consolidate yesterday's crazy gains.

It does seem though, the market will continue to battle upward. Its just a matter of whether 2K is hit this week... or next.
