Despite the still huge uncertainties, confirmation of real economic GROWTH can change market sentiment in a snap. May have begun Friday. We will see. When the economy is sinking, everything is too expensive....when it is growing, hey, valuations are all just relative.

Remember when "next year's earnings" were all anyone cared about on P/E? And next year was always a given. Sheesh.

I agree with you. And not only that, but based on two responds on the new short selling rules in Japan, seems to me they just updated their rules to the same as the US short selling rules. So why would this rally be just short covering? It's not like they banned it.

NV - The propsect of a little time behind bars has been enough for the Japanese shorts to find new day jobs.

Just shows you what distortion shorts make to a market. Now we have had an actual demonstration there is no doubt about it.

Best,
