Checkpoint bucks trend today

Hey

Checkpoint seemed to buck the trend on heavy volume closing the day up 2% while the rest of the market was clearly down. There was no news so I am unclear as to why there was such heavy buying. Stay tuned.

The Fed Chairman Bernanke came out with remarks about the economy suggesting that it will increase in the next six months. This brought some selling into the market as the thought of lower interest rates has gone away for a while. This might hurt some of the housing stocks going into the summer. The service sector jump seems to indicate some upcoming employment in the tech sector furthering the maturation of the internet economy.

The Wikiwealth portfolio consists of the following:
