NEW YORK, NY (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) – The near future’s looking pretty good for the economy. Thursday was another good day on Wall Street, but with the up and down for the markets lately, the question is what does that mean?

Early Friday morning the Asian markets struggled to find their footing. It opened with gains, but many foreign markets then turned down to close.

However, on Wall Street though the dow gained back over 400 points Thursday, making it the fourth day in a row where the index registered a change of 400 points or more. That has never happened before.

Joe Bert from Certified Financial Group stopped by the FOX 35 studios to explain why.
