AAPL, $OEX and SPY

Market shake out was fast and furious all day long, until final 2 hours of the trading day.

$VIX spiked higher early on while FED was speaking and contradictory viewpoints by chief Bernanke and Governor Kohn confused participants and added to volatility.

Dollor Index coming off its lows, Gold down nearly $18, Oil under $100 as the day progressed and it seemed like market turning point. We added some positions to our Index trades and cashed out one AAPL trade for a swift swing 18.52 % profit.
