Summary
*Subscriber server @ http://subscriber.permabeardoomster.com, for no known reason, is currently offline. I'll likely just post here for the rest of today. I was actually looking to have Friday 13th as an 'open day'. so I guess I'll just make it today instead.

Yesterday saw rather broad weakness, but we never hit even the basic technical necessity of the upper gap of sp'2768/59. We're clearly set to open moderately higher, and the gains could be expected to hold into at least 11am.
Frankly, having not even hit 2768, I am NOT inclined to chase higher. An intraday swing from the 2780s to 2760s isn't that difficult, but it will arguably need some kind of news to cross the wires into this afternoon.
*awaiting CPI data, which is especially important to those at Print Central.
