Not going to make a big deal about today's trade as it appeared to be end of month/quarter mark ups. Tomorrow is turn around Tuesday and I suspect the bulls wont be as aggressive on the last day of the month. Also some new beginning of the month money coming on and after that I suspect a sell off- for now just day trading and buying dips as the bulls like to defend prices for now.
