Stocks bounced today after the big decline yesterday in part because of some optimism on earnings after last night's Alcoa beat.
The rally was a bit subdued. Let's see if more earnings come in positively.
“'Simon, Simon, behold! Satan has demanded permission to have all of you, to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And once you have returned, you must strengthen your brothers.' And Simon said, 'Lord, I am ready to go with you, to prison and death.' Jesus answered, 'Before the cock crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.'" Luke 22:31-34
