The aggressive move would make H-P, which acquired Snapfish for an undisclosed sum in late March, among the least expensive places to print digital photos. Other online photos sites such as Shutterfly Inc. charge 19 cents to 29 cents to print a 4-by-6-inch digital image, and retailers such as Costco charge around 17 cents a photo. Snapfish had been charging 19 cents a print, or 15 cents on a prepaid plan. (Full Story) WSJ

The market is set for a strong open, on the heels of a solid GDP report. I still think the market is overbought, and its better not to chase stocks here. There are always pullbacks you can use to build positions.
