Almost every time since the Oct. 9 low that we've had a pullback of 2 percent or more, and we've had five or six, I think, they've all been on lighter volume. What that's telling you is that the institutions are not changing the buying trend -- they are not bailing out of stocks. I think it's a normal and understandable pause.

We had the good ISM data and the market reacted very positively. The one missing ingredient was the volume. What we're gonna watch closely in the coming day and weeks is if there is a follow-through on volume. Major institutions drive this market and volume is an indication of that.
