Both the NYSE and the Nasdaq saw the lightest volume of the year but we consolidated well without giving much back. Breadth was poor, with oil and commodity-related plays dropping. Intel and technology helped to pick up the slack. After a flash crash in May last year, I am thinking funds may be well prepared this year going into May. While we consolidate recent gains, everyone is probably waiting for the Ben Bernanke news conference on Wednesday.
