Good morning. With chants of "Dow 10K… Dow 10K" once again rising from the streets at the corner of Broad and Wall yesterday, it is easy to believe that the bulls are back on track and that we'll soon be looking at new highs for the stock market.

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days."

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:07:07 GMT

Thus the losses are coming from a higher base level, and if the revisions are included, this report was in line with consensus or perhaps a bit better.[More...]
