The Market

• Early morning futures were down but are currently pointing to an up opening.
• Gold and oil both down.
• This is quadruple expiration day so I will be doing little trading, if any.  Markets tend to be squirrely on these days, difficult to predict.
• Instead, I hope spend some time researching several equity ideas and confirming ideas already acted upon.

Sidebar

• The most recent vehicle-dependability study displays some startling results.  Toyota, which had held the top spot for 14 years was supplanted by Buick.  Buick has been climbing the charts for several years but this latest result must gladden the hearts of Detroit.  In second place is Jaguar, an astonishing finish for a car maker long plagued with reliability issues.  Rounding out the top ten are Lexus, Toyota, Mercury (!), Infiniti, Acura, Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda. At the bottom are Suzuki and VW.

It is Friday, folks!  Make it a great one.
