Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day.

Big Oil's lean look fuels area jobs fear: If cuts remain permanent, glory days may be over

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:46:00 GMT
