      <description><![CDATA[Good morning. With chants of &quot;Dow 10K… Dow 10K&quot; 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. And when reviewing the data inputs to yesterday's 204 point romp, it is also easy to don the Dow10K hat once again and join in on the celebration.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3614255>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a &quot;Fed Day&quot; 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. Maybe, it's just me.
