The 27,700 level. Remember, it was 18,000 on march 23rd. The s p, what, nearly 3400. New alltime high. The nasdaq well over the 11,000 mark. Who would have thought of that. Add it all up and yes, we are now in a brand new bull market. Heres another reason for the rally. Terrific performance from major retailers, target, out today with a blowout report. Online sales nearly tripled. It was targets best overall growth rate ever. That stock is going straight up.

[inaudible question] boston and charleston might be seen as opposite but we are talking about two of the oldest cities in america, visual cities, and sections in history. Why do we care about charleston in the year 1860 . Well, we know here why we care. This is my starting point for the book. Charleston was really the vanguard and it was written the last day of 1860s to a colleague, a fellow man of the church in the north, he shed light on this.
