Looks like the jobless claims are heading in the right direction, let's hope the government does something about oil prices now too besides blame the oil companies. I am clueless about where the Nas is going today. My best guess is that it will stay about the same, give or take 20 points, that is end up down anywhere from 10 to 50. It just seems like that kind of listless day, tight trading range and no one taking too many chances.
