October 29, 2009 Stock Market Recap

| 4 Comments

Sorry for the late post but I got caught up watching baseball among other things. We got our oversold bounce today. It was helped along by the better than expected GDP and probably by some month-end and year-end mutual fund buying. It was a broad based rally but volume was disappointing relative to yesterday. Still, the market remains oversold and I have to assume the path of least resistance is up (or sideways) in the very short term. We have a Federal Reserve interest rate decision next Wednesday, so that will likely be the focus in the coming days.
