It’s amazing to see just how stuck this market is right now. We get about 30 minutes of action in the morning then it’s sideways for the rest of the session. Today it didn’t just happen with stocks. Even gold found itself stuck on stupid for the better part of the afternoon. Straight sideways and boring as all getup.
