Hold on for Dear Life to This Part of the Market
The transports, simply put, are likely to be the bears' best piece of evidence that a true market correction is imminent. After bouncing late-last week and galvanizing bulls for a noter "here we go again rally off a false breakdown," the Dow Jones Transportation Average is back below 8,600, a multi-quarter support area.

Lunch is for Wimps So Here is an Icahn/$AAPL Blog Post
On the back of Carl Icahn's comments this morning about AAPL, the stock is up over 1% as I write this.
