24/7 Wall St.

Stocks were indicated higher on Monday after last week’s 1% drop in the Dow, but the market is still barely hanging positive so far for the year. Now that the market recovery has negated the selling pressure of the first six weeks of 2016, investors have to decide whether they should be buying the dips or selling into the rallies.
