Markets Open Up Slightly in Rebound
Wall Street opened up slightly this morning as it attempted to recover from yesterday's big pullback, in which all the major indexes dropped more than 2 percent.
In the first 15 minutes of trading, the Dow was up 37 points, or about 0.4 percent.
The broader S&P 500 was up about the same amount and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was up nearly 0.6 percent.
Markets this morning got mixed economic signals: Producer prices were down in July and have plummeted over the past year, and July housing starts were lower than expectations. At the same time, Home Depot and Target reported second-quarter earnings that beat expectations.

Nice rebounding today. Up 8.18. I thought 500.00 was reasonable. I was wrong, but WPO has intelligence and with that you have safe assets. How can you lose? I saw a hold and thought, yeah right hold on it's going to be a long week. Every week seems like a century. That's just me tho and 5 wild turkeys just walked by. This is Green Acres out here. Get green Post.

Embalm, cremate and bury. Take no chances. Why not sell the house and let the dead rest? Talk about a big rebound and a big move. You can't even afford to rest in peace anymore.
