Today's stock market action was relatively quiet for an option expiration ahead of a three day weekend.

The economic news this morning was better than expected.

From the oligarchy is audacious department, the BP crisis manager was fined by the SEC for front running the Gulf Oil spill, selling all his family stock holding before the extent of the disaster was revealed.

The US markets will be closed tomorrow for Good Friday.

Have a pleasant weekend. See you Sunday evening.
