The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself. I wasn't going to look at the market today. Futures and headlines suggested a "bad" day on the market. Then, while closing windows left open from yesterday, I saw AMZN. Are you kidding me?

• AMZN: up another $10 for the day and that's only 0.3%; trading close to $3200; market cap just under $1.7 trillion; closes at $3,200, up another $2 after hours;
• AAPL: choppy; a bit of profit taking, but not much; trading down about 0.3%; down about $1.20; trading around $382; closes at $384
• IMUX: down 4%; trading at $12.20; closes at $12.27 but up 1.6% after hours;
• MSFT: down 0.4%; down about 86 cents; trading around $213; closes down a bit, at $214;
• TSLA: up a whopping 11%; up over $150/share; now trading near $1,545/share;

At the close:

• NASDAQ hits an all-time high; fourth record close this week;
• S&P 500: up 33 points
• Dow: up 370 points

Surge: said to be related to Gilead's news that they may have oral anti-viral


PGA: looks like Jordan Spieth will miss the cut line; needs a birdie at the final hole to get to one under which looks like the cut line; he did not do that; par at the 18th;
