Today's biggest gainers had one thing in common, they have very little in common. While there are overlaps in industries like healthcare, technology and semi conductors, even those companies compete in different parts of their respective industries. The more I see positive earnings reports and growth that is broad based the more conviction I get in the strength of this market.
