Yesterday's article about the pension management firm increasing stock holdings dramatically may have something to do with what is happening. That firm alone manages pensions for 44 million Americans. I am thankful those clowns aren't managing anything for me. Totally irresponsible.

I REALLY hope that the Bushies aren't driving the market. But, it sure looks that way. Just like they plunged into Iraq with no plan, they are driving the economy with the goal of staving off recession until after the elections, as if that would get John McCain elected. The plan beyond that? Who the hell cares! Not OUR problem.

what good news sparked this turnaround? I have a stop on FXP set just above my entry price so I'll close it with no loss, but not sure why we changed direction given the overall bad news this morning.
