People have been stopped in their tracks. It's impossible to trade the market right now because there's no way to know what's going to happen in Iraq hour to hour, day to day, so I think most individual investors are hanging back and any action is dominated by hedge funds.

Whether we build on the 10,000 or not, I think the market is in good shape and I expect it to keep moving higher through the end of the year.
