It appears that the market is just fine with remaining in a holding pattern until Uncle Benny decides what his centralized planning for the economy will be going forward. Until then I wouldn't expect much out of these markets.

Considering back in June he really created a mess of everything during his press conference, it looks like the markets could see a lot volatility for better or worse depending on what is in that statement.

Keep Cimarex Energy (XEC) handy. I got into the stock yesterday and it is just now breaking out above the four month long resistance level that was a major road block for it in the past. Assuming this market can hold up, I think it could easily see $80 in the next week or so despite trading at about $76 right now.
