If we can go steady for the rest of August and September, we could set ourselves up for a nice rally in October.
completed extent fed justifies rally reaction stunned
It's such a knee-jerk reaction. I don't think that what the Fed said justifies the kind of reaction we saw. I would like to think that we could rally back after the certification is completed tomorrow, but I don't know. I am just stunned by the extent of this decline. Hopefully, it was a one-time reaction.

The stocks that are benefiting most from better earnings are the small and mid-cap ones.
bit people reminded statement
The statement wasn't that negative, but it was a bit clumsily worded. They reminded people of the dangers.

The silver lining on this is that it confirms that the Federal Reserve will not be raising interest rates anytime soon, which is good news for the market.

Things are still very volatile and there's been an aversion to technology all day.

The wording of the statement will be important, and then you've also got Cisco and Dell reporting next week.
