Interest rates status quo

 

6:27 am (Hawaii): Breaking news is no change in interest rates. That's no surprise. I like how the info usually gets released (on paper) to the media this way, an hour or two before Bernanke speaks. The FOMC statement notes the weakening labor numbers.

Generally bullish despite the flat indice numbers so far today. The losers on my Regular watch list are mostly down less than 1%, though NFLX is way near the bottom.

My Metals list is 75% green, 25% red. GPL is up 6%, EGO up 4.5%, NGD up 4.1%, NUGT up 3.8%, XG up 3.7%, MCP up 3%, GDXJ up 3%. My favorite miners are up: EXK (+1.3%) and XG (+3.2%). Both have comparable volume to yesterday at this point.

More losers: DUST (-3.8%), SCO (-2.2%), ZSL (-1.2%).

AAPL is flat. UUP flat, also. While other miners are up nicely, PAAS is flat (+0.2%). GLD is up just 0.4%.
