USRantlet: Repo $7 bill... Rally 10 S&P points

Note - from June 24th 2009, this blog has migrated from Blogger to a self-hosted version. Click here to go straight there.

Let's see... Dow was down about 30 points at 10 a.m. New York time... an hour later it was UP about 45... the S&P futures were down 3 and change at 10 a.m. NY time... an hour later they were up 7.25...

Hmmm... now what changed at 10 a.m. to make the market reverse like that?

Maybe oil dropped hard?

Nope - my screen tells me that oil started dropping after the market started to reverse up.

Maybe the US turned back into a Republic? Not even in your dreams, pal...

Now the real test is if the market can hold even half of these gains between now and the close. 1194 is resistance.
