WOW --stock indexes jumping, gold/silver soaring --we got something here for the whole family!
Good morning (too); really tho our stock jump yesterday was not quite a % and while volume was up a lot it was still only back up to 'average' after the low-volume holidays. Metals however are showing a lot of robust action w/ gold, silver now at $1,167.10, $16.49. Add to that metals futures this AM are +1.08% along w/ stock index futures at +0.18%.
