This blog is meant as a stock market archive. We post each day's important numbers, along with summaries of the government reports which move the markets: basically, a snapshot of the U.S. markets. Some posts also feature some commentary.

There are unnumbered blogs that offer commentary on the 'Net, and many offer some excellent content.
