Market Wrap

No numbers today. Auto-wrap tool mad at somebody’s site again, and I simply don’t feel like dealing with it right now.

Ok, numbers are in. Things just magically worked all of a sudden…I think the internet was up and down there for a bit.

…and I still got it wrong. Thanks John. Maybe I should actually LOOK at the numbers after I paste them in…
