Oil Up, Gold Up, Markets Up! Something Has Got to be Down

Oh no...

History didn't fail us today as the Tuesday following Labor Day Weekend results in a positive day for the S&P almost 90% of the time. This would explain the run-up in the "500" on Friday. It seems a lot of money was made today, unless you owned Kraft. The stock took a beating, dropping almost 6% on the day.

Oil companies, along with gold miners did well today. Not bad for a day that saw many in the sector still suffering from a summer hangover.

Note to Wall Street: Don't drink tonight. Stay home, have a nice supper, and get some sleep. Tomorrow night begins a 24-hour adventure with O'Bs speech and the jobless claims report on Thursday AM. Get some rest because the markets will be movin'!

Talk to you,
