Can anyone think of justifiable reasons for this rally?
The only things I can see that have happened since last Friday are:

-Iraq not yet attacked
-Bill Clinton's troubles have not deepened further
-Some Asian markets rallied quite a bit
-Some weak economic numbers

However, taking a cue from markets that have been in big trouble in the first place to adjust our prices does not seem like a wise thing to do because that may set a bound on how well these markets will do which is not pretty to look at.
I guess the threats from Asian markets have been now dismissed by and large and the economic numbers are also no longer a threat because:

-if we get strong economic numbers we says that is good because we will counter deflation secanrio with those
-if we get weak economic numbers we say that is great because we do not have any thtreat of inflation

And we rally in a frenzy.
