Signs of Strength

GOOG opened $2 down this morning, but immediately shot up $15 in a straight line to $617.88, before the bears started piling on. But the naysayers were only able to push it back down $9 to $608.32, at which point the bulls reasserted themselves and battled back to a very respectable finish at $614 on the nose, up $9.36.

The rest of the portfolio was also up nicely on the day, with the bottom line benefiting by 0.99%.
