Today’s Market

Today was another market-beating day for us, although the Buy List lost ground. Our Buy List dropped -0.43% today compared with the S&P 500’s -0.72% loss. Our big help today came from Dell (DELL), which jumped 74 cents thanks to the analyst upgrade.
Eighteen of our stocks fell today, and seven stocks rallied. The biggest losers were Frontier Airlines (FRNT) and Thor Industries (THO), although those stocks have done very well recently. Frontier seems to move completely opposite oil prices.
The bond market was closed for Columbus Day. After the close, Alcoa reported its earnings—the company is usually the first Dow component to report. The company beat Wall Street’s estimate, but that was after a big warning a few weeks ago. The first major announcement will come tomorrow with Apple’s earnings, plus its double-secret announcement.
