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.

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.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Jim Gallagher column: Inflation's coming back _ but we don't know when

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:47:00 GMT

Nov. 8--The inflation monster is sleeping soundly, snoring away, and everyone hopes he'll never wake up.
