Stocks finished off a big week in quiet fashion with a mild consolidation which is exactly what bulls wanted to work off a near term overbought condition. Quarterly GDP was released in the morning at 2.5% which was not too hold, nor too cold - but at this point any economic data can be explained away as a reason to buy stocks (good data is good, and bad data means more intervention by central bankers). There were a lot of interesting earning reports which we'll dive into later in the piece. For the day the S&P 500 finished down 0.18% and the NASDAQ 0.33%. For the week the S&P gained 1.74% and the NASDAQ 2.28% nearly erasing all of last week's losses.
