The Market is a Prankster

Despite some charts like ETSY basically ignoring today's drop in the market, alongside a few other standouts we like to track for Members during market corrections and periods of uncertainly and volatility, the reality is that right now the market is a prankster where we can mostly look, but also mostly not touch.

Something's Missing from the Morning Bounce

After knifing lower on the back of a news-driven overnight futures trying session, equities staged an earnest bounce off the opening bell.
