It's Wednesday, and stock markets are acting weird again. Today, for no apparent reason, the stock market is only vacillating (the Dow is up only a fraction of a percent, while the S&P 500 is actually down for the day) -- but a whole bunch of retailers went off to the races.
At 3:45 p.m. EDT, in the final 15 minutes of trading, we're watching retail clothier American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) fly 6% higher, watchmaker Fossil Group (NASDAQ: FOSL) rise 12.3%, and Children's Place (NASDAQ: PLCE) romp to a 13.5% gain -- all on no obvious news.
