Excellent source, Jumper. Here's a CrapFind excerpt from their daily market report... The Stock market rose briefly this week on reports of a near-term selloff in the corn futures market sparked by the lackluster performance of corporate earnings and a disappointing across-the-board decline in commodities prices. Long term bonds, nonetheless, advanced solidly on rumors that the Fed would be reconsidering interest rates at its fall meeting. Reports in the Washington Post that the consumer price index would be down next month also sparked a near-term selloff by holders of heavy utility stocks and corporate bonds. The S&P 500 rose on reports of another solid quarter by the gold futures market where, earlier this month, rumors had begun to spread that a near-term selloff in the cattle futures market might have a ripple effect, sparking a long-term selloff in the platinum futures market. But, at the close of the week, the New York Times reported that everything was "Right back where it started from, so all you individual investors at the mercy of big, dumb men, conspiring in dark back rooms to screw you more and exalt their own questionable genetics, can rest easy for at least another few days."
