It's The Economy Stupid: Friday's Close

Okay, it’s beginning to look like Dow 13000 is a ceiling.  Market having trouble sustaining rallies above that plateau.  Maybe we’ll get a breakout next week,  Oh, and that Saudi pipeline explosion yesterday that drove crude oil prices higher?  Turns out to be a way overblown rumor.  Suspicious?  Yep.  Call me cynical, but I bet there were a lot of traders long crude oil who sold into that rumor.
