DJIA +152.29 (+1.05%) to 14,719.46; S&P 500 +16.28 (+1.04%) to 1,578.78; NASDAQ +25.30 (+0.90%) to 2,835.37 Very strong day today in the market today with all major indices moving up roughly 1% or higher.

The broad trend still seems to be strongly in-tact and right now it looks like that small divergence might just be setting up for a MACD recycle. Stocks in the news today included Epocrates (EPOC), up over 21% after agreeing to be acquired by athenahealth (ATHN) for…
