Summary

*so much for 'weakness into the close'...
--

A typically crazy latter day bounce.. but even more powerful than most bull maniacs would have dared hoped for.

Were the BoJ spending extra new money today in the US market? Trying to pick up 'bargains' for Christmas, is that it?

Seriously... a bounce to 2056 was somewhat understandable, but when taken with the closing gains in the R2K and Nasdaq... today was a major fail for the bears.
