Markets End Wednesday in the Green

The third quarter of 2009 officially began today and ended in positive territory. Good news from manufacturing sectors in the USA and abroad point to a stronger road to recovery.

So Monday was a great start to the week with stocks generally lifting off after a brief open into negative territory. For the most part, no specific sector was a giant leader compared to the rest of the areas and I did not find something truly amazing to buy into and sell during my limited time. Its actually been a quiet couple of weeks, I know some of my loyal readers will remember days I was buying and selling stocks multiple times for days on end, but I knew those moments would slow down during the summer.
For many people, there are too many things to accomplish in a day and not enough energy in our bodies. Personally, I drink coffee (iced) but for the most part, anyone that knows me can agree that I drink a lot of energy drinks. I need the extra jolt the drink gives in order to make it through everything I got lined up during the days.
Today was a good upside on the markets after the reaction we have seen for the past few days. All the big boards were in the green and the housing and health care stocks were the ones that were the leaders in today’s rally. A stock that I talked about yesterday, Pier 1 imports was also up a healthy 5.88% from the residual effect on the positive news on competitor Bed Bath Beyond
