July 21st 2011 Market Recap

Financials lead the way as the S&P 500 out-paced the NASDAQ on the up-side fueled by news that Greece is getting a fresh bailout. That coupled with overall positive earnings and expectations for the debt ceiling to be raised in the next two weeks is serving as further fuel to help drive this market climb higher.

There will no recap tomorrow as usual so have a fantastic weekend and I will see you back here next week.
