Hi Luke
I just want to say thanks for today being on hand to sort through my problems that I have been having. In fact to the whole team Jenny who has always been available and Jack with his mentoring, basically although I have yet to be successful I wish I had started to use this company a long time ago. I am probably jinxed and have probably been your company's  most awkward client but still the support from you all is 101%.... (looks like I am in the money with Apple...miracles do happen even for me)....
Anyway I hope you will pass my thanks on to all those I have mentioned  and those I didnot mention.. As soon as I am able to be in good profit I hope to send business your way.
Kind Regards

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

1. Potential market movers -- Yahoo, Etsy

Shares in Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) are posting a modest 3% rebound premarket after they tanked by about 8% late Tuesday. Investors hit the sell button on concerns that the company would be hit by new tax rules when it spins off its stake in Alibaba (BABA, Tech30). But the tech giant has reportedly issued a statement saying it will not be affected by any IRS tax rule changes.

Shares in Etsy (ETSY) are down by roughly 17% premarket after the company reported a big quarterly loss. It was the company's first earnings report since its IPO.

2. Down day in the markets?

U.S. stock futures are looking soft ahead of the open, but this comes a day after the Dow Jones industrial average eked out a minor gain to close at a new record high. The S&P 500 is also trading near record levels.

European markets are all edging down in early trading. Asian markets ended with mixed results. Japan reported annualized growth of 2.4% in the first quarter. That was stronger than expected but analysts warned the pace of expansion would slow later this year.

3. Earnings

Target (TGT), Staples (SPLS) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) are reporting ahead of the open.

Salesforce.com (CRM, Tech30), Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and the owner of Victoria's Secret, L Brands (LB), will report after the close.

4. Economics

The Federal Reserve will publish the minutes from its latest policy meeting at 2 p.m. ET.
