It was kind of a "blah" day, but over all... not too bad...

I guess it could have been a lot worse in the market on Thursday.

Most of the major indexes were in negative territory for the better part of the day. But a late-day rally caused the Dow to actually close in the green. It was up almost 13 points for the day. The Nas didn't quite make it - that index was down 8.7 points.

Energy stocks looked great on Thursday, since crude oil futures rallied above $120 a barrel to more than a two-week high, as the dollar fell against other major currencies and tensions between the U.S. and Russia escalated.

I'm starting to take a shine to the Energy sector again, and I've found a beautiful chart there. It's a re-buy of a great little low-priced stock that tripled in price earlier this year. I'm going to name the stock as my RSVP Play this evening.
