Good MorningEquities tread water on Wednesday, which is better than what could have been expected, given earnings reports from Google and Advanced Micro Devices. Neither company issued a bad report, but the market wasn’t compelled to buy either. Weakish finance is also in play, leading their stock prices to fall sharply in the session.
