Last week's gain was a "just barely" situation, and the market didn't exactly end the trading week on a bullish foot. It's not like the bears even bothered to make an effort to show up though. Of course, the bears may just be biding their time, waiting for more convincing proof that any modest slide isn't going to be stopped...
