Today, I start by offering my condolences. It’s tax day, never a pleasant time of the year.  

Yesterday, I noted that the recent rally lacked enthusiasm. Low volume and small daily gains were the hallmarks. Did all that change yesterday after Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) posted blowout numbers?  

Maybe. Volume posted its best totals since February. And the S&P 500 made its biggest gain since March 5.
