First, great news. First time applications for unemployment benefits hit a 5-year low.

Market news, waiting: will PSX hold its gains? Apple looks like it is having a healthy rebound; Wall Street is playing the small retail investor like a fiddle. Gotta love it.

So, in early morning trading: the market must have like the unemployment numbers (first time unemployment benefits). PSX is up almost another dollar. It looks like BRK will flirt with a new high. Union Pacific Railroad has already hit a new 52-week high. Oil is up almost another dollar; solidly above $94.
