Just some scuttlebutt that might affect the market: Congress adjourns in a little while to go into a "members-only classified briefing" with representatives from the State Department, Defense Department, and Joint Chiefs Of Staff .

[Paradox]

Not too shabby at the moment:

I bought $5k worth of an S&P 500 index fund when the market was around 8500.

Now you know why.

I say jump in - the water's still fine.

Take a look at Bell South (BLS). Dropping like a rock today because of the Nortel warning but it should bounce back.

Buy something that people hate right now but has good long term potential. You'll win almost every time.

[OK]

IMHO it is a bear trap. Some halfway good news came out today and the market went up. We have many earnings reports due out over the next couple of weeks. Those results will tell the story.

It is kind of remarkable that the market goes up on the day the White House acknowledged that we are in a recession. Could it be the Plunge Protection Team in action?
