Friends What worries? Monday’s “pullback” seems to be a distant memory just 2 trading sessions later. Sure, some pretty darn good earnings reports from corporate America have been helpful (but no real surprise), but when bond yields stopped plunging and recovered some, the stock market responded positively.
