It is for other reasons...but it is good news. The gains in the market Tuesday follow subsiding fears over the unrest in Egypt, where the army on Tuesday pledged not to clamp down on protests by thousands in Cairo. Protesters have been calling for the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak in demonstrations that started last Tuesday. That's because investors were buying back positions that had been shed Friday when the protests in Egypt escalated, Brian Battle, vice president of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners, told CNBC.com. With the future of Egypt uncertain, investors didn't want to be overexposed heading into the weekend, Battle said.

In spite of talking about freezing government spending, President Obama reminded everyone during the State of the Union just how out of touch he is about the defining issue of our time — the fiscal dysfunction that threatens to rob future generations of today's living standards and jeopardizes the global financial system. National debt has grown by $3 trillion since Obama took office, the most rapid growth under any president since FDR's wartime defense buildup. Federal government spending — now at 25% of GDP — is crowding out private investment. investors.com

Kenneth that is a typical talking-heads comment------I never think about Obama when buying or selling a stock. Remember that the market anticipates the future-----the rally started in 2010 in anticipation of the Republican take over of the House. If you like this rally in the DJ, just wait until the next election comes. Do recall that the market collapsed in anticipation of Obama being the Dem. candidate. That was predicting the future. Obama is now 'past'--------as the new Congress has taken the reigns. Obama is neutered now.
