I'm going to keep it short and sweet tonight.   It was another great trading day.  That $SSYS bounce was ever so majestic.   Don't be surprised if this thing gets over $60 before weeks end.

However, the “sell-the-rip” theme came back into play overnight and throughout the morning. Today’s session tells us a few very important thing about the weeks to come for the broader market.
