Stock Market update -Mar 24th

The Fed seemed to turn markets upside down this week, first with a big rally on Thursday, followed by a big drop on Friday, with long term interest rates taking a tumble, inverting the yield curve! This week we close out the 1st quarter with very strong gains (if it holds up), after the previous quarter's disastrous drop.

Bonds spiked, Gold was up a bit, also Oil.

Continuing concerns:  
Still keeping an eye on DB, Europe, China

Pops:  , 
Drops:   BIIB, NKE
