The Dow Jones Industrial Average may gain 80, or 0.8 percent, according to City Index, a U.K. betting company. The U.K.'s benchmark FTSE 100 Index may open 60 points higher, or up 1.4 percent, City Index said.

The Gold bugs will use this to buy more gold because they know
the fundamentals have not changed, the deficit didn't go down, the trade balance is still close to 50 billion negative each month and the only jobs created have been low paying service sector jobs. Catching Saddam did not fix the economy.

The FED mentioned leaving the interest rate at 1% until the end of 2005(considerable time). Sounds like they believe it's going to take a while for our sick economy to get well.

Nope, the Gold Bugs are drooling..........

Right on there dude, but I'd gladly eat a 10 or 20% temporary correction for the opportunity to see Soros undergo a testicle liquifying short squeeze :)

Bob Brinker was lookin at the futures markets the minute they opened this afternoon and was sayin the S&P 500 was up a bunch and that NASDAQ was up 2%+

Who knows if it stayed there.

Clue: "sick" economies don't have 8% productivity growth. But gold stocks and commodities already started dropping overseas. But, by all means, BUY UP!
