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.
"Some people see God as they see a cow, and love Him as they love a cow — for the milk and cheese, and the profit it brings. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of worldly possessions or inward comfort. They do not truly love God when they love Him for their own advantage. The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye — one seeing, one knowing, one love.”
Meister Eckhart, Predigten und Traktate
