The Market On Tuesday

  Good morning. It is 46 degrees and rainy here in the Upper Hudson Valley, the forecast predicts a rainy day with temperatures in the low 60s this afternoon. The long range forecast shows a warming trend over the next few days and also quite a bit of rain over the next seven days. Get used to the gray.

  At 9:00 a.m. ET DOW futures are +153 and the price of oil per barrel is down. The market is poised to open significantly higher.

  There's a message floating around on Facebook that nails it. If Trump wants to build his stupid wall, he should start a Go Fund Me page and get his supporters to pay for it.
