Stock Market update -Sep 25th

This was the big week for the Fed, but was really uneventful for the market. The S&P 500 got back above the Friday Sep 9th drop, while the Nasdaq got above it a week ago, and is now at a new all time high! Next week marks the end of the Quarter, and I suspect we'll close out with a nice gain, as funds maybe pile in for window dressing.

Bonds rallied, Gold rallied, as did Oil (though it pulled back on Friday).

This week TWTR rallied on takeover rumors. ADBE FDX, RHT, popped on earnings
WFC dropped on consumer fraud news, FB dropped on false ad info...
