U.S. stock indices are mostly in the red today, with investors perhaps experiencing a little 'green exhaustion' after the solid gains booked of late. Also of note, the meaningful news starts to hit the tape tomorrow with the release of the Fed minutes, so getting a little defensive in case the minutes include unwanted news is also defensible.
Biogen Earnings: Shares Undervalued as Cost Controls Materialize and New Launches Accelerate
