  1. Buying panic?


    Stocks rallied hard for a second straight day as the Dow gained 285-points on Wednesday, and the 2-day rally has recovered 554-points of the 871-point Brexit sell-off.

The final result announced Friday morning was in favor of Britain leaving the European Union, and that was not the expected outcome. And since investors don't like surprises, they reacted negatively to the vote as stocks opened down Friday and continued to drop through the trading hours.
