Is this a good sign?
Or could this be a generated false bubble?
It is possible that the wealthy investors will launch a massive sell-off when the Dow reaches approximately 8,500 then the real collapse could happen.
I'd hold on for now, this could just be the eye of the storm, the worst may soon come.
we are now 8100+ nearing the 8500....could be by next week..lets see if we have the collapse

DJIA up 235.44
This right here is the sucker part of the larger bull rally. The Dow still has to retrace quite a bit more. Today's action appeared to be very manipulative.
Is anybody buying?
I'm still hording cash and waiting several more weeks for the buying opportunity.

The Economic Meltdown is over….. Time to make some money. The announcement made by Citigroup and the way the market has reacted has marked the End of the Economic Meltdown.
Stop listening to all those Doom and Gloom People and cease the opportunity in front of you to make some Money. How many doom and gloom predictions made here on ATS ever came true and why should it be different for this one?
The rapidity with which the stock market will recover will stun many. Share prices are still at a bargain so just buy as much as you can and watch it all grow and make huge capital gains.
Don’t waste your money stockpiling on Food and ammunition…the dream of doom is not going to come true for some here. Citigroup announcement is just the beginning and many more will come.
For all those that don’t believe me will only see everything unfold before them and curse themselves for all the missed opportunity.
So people please forget about all the Doom thing( will never ever happen) and cease the opportunity NOW.

Just joking about that last one Fun maybe going bankrupt but I still give away corny jokes for free
but seriously I see the market going up for a few about 2 or 3 more weeks and then BOOM right as we brooch the 9000 mark the rug will be pulled out from under ya and that market will sail its way down past 4000....
In the present time Tourism is down Joblessness is UP and the Economy is so obviously going into the can that only those the believe in the Official 911 story would believe that it is going to get better.
It aint.
