The market is putting on a show better than Marx Brothers' A Day at the Races. One day bulls hate HFTs and the next they're saviors. You can't have it both ways and the action is getting downright silly. It's completely dominated by HFTs. So, let's see if I've got this week right so far: -635; +430; -520; and +423 for the DJIA.
