re: #355 avanti

The market was flat, was up, then down, now up again. (at the moment)

38 pts is not very “up.” I think we’ll see Wall Street’s take on today’s Bernanke tap dance tomorrow or by the end of the week. If Wall St. sees that the Fed is going to artificially block inflation now, it could be very good for stocks in the short term. Bernanke said that he wants banks to “hold onto” the monies they have (i.e., tighten credit), this will be very bad for small business and employment.
