Awaiting the Taper Talk

After opening lower stocks stayed in the red pretty much all day.  Late in the session they actually edged into the black prior to closing slightly down.  That was not a bad performance considering yesterday's gains and the impending entrance of the elephant in the room.  Yes tomorrow's colossal story will be the comments issued by the FED regarding its decision on whether or not to begin slowing the purchases of Treasuries and MBS bonds or tapering.  Let's hope for a delay!
