Thanks....I expect slightly up in the stock markets today with bargain hunters sniffing around and optimism by some with the unemployment report (slightly positive) that just came out this morning. Commodities will rise in prices overall (food, energy, metals) as the dollar slipped to the euro 1 penny yesterday.

Amazing the amount of $$ of computer, staff, and software running tabs 24/7 to help the money movers pick their positions; and then there's last night's cocktail socials where things were said, not said, etc. Think of the movie "Working Girl" with Melanie Griffith. LOL!!

I just wanted to see the typical responses (up, down, flat) LOL!!!

So just what is Bernanke going to say to Congress today? I'm sure the spin will be slightly positive with a 'great deal of caution'.

I am wondering (not today but in the next few months) if there will be a big oil futures sell-off once it hits $100/bbl that might send oil shooting downward.
