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.
"what should you do to avoid being an idiot or a swine? Merely this: You should do something great, you should lay aside all the foolishness of a more of less long existence, you should become resigned to the fact that you will seem ridiculous to a race of janitors and bureaucrats if you are to enter the service of Splendor. Then you will know what it means to be the friend of God. The friend of God!"
