Its unbelievable how one down day becomes “The TOP.” On this day I’m reading blogs, noise that comes through email, and I can’t stand it. The bears always sound like they have the smart reasons for why the market should be done moving higher, but they are consistently wrong. They’ve been wrong when they thought [...]

Lehman Brothers beat their number this morning I’m expecting fireworks post Federal Reserve meeting announcement at 2pm. Hopefully it will go my way. Yes the earnings were beat on taxes and not on earnings, but people expected a shoe to drop today from them and they didn’t get it.
