Early Rally fizzles into Pool of Doubt

After a mad dash upward to open the session, the Dow once again became mercurial and managed just a 6 point gain on the day.  Buoyed by a better that expected report from the Institute for Supply Management and an uptick in Chinese manufacturing, the Dow was up over 100 points early in the session .  The Instiute measure inventories of items required for manufacturing.  Therfore a good reading points to increased productivity and possibly more jobs in the future.  A poor earnings report from Amazom and continued uncertainty about the upcoming Fed release brought traders down from their euphoria.
