Crystal Ball

Two late Sunday articles might indicate the direction of the markets this week.

First, oil is up and stocks may likely go the other way.

Second, Paulson is talking about more bank insolvency, lots of banks. We know this is coming but investors seem to react badly when its made public and clear.

I think the gains from last Thursday and Friday are mostly reversed, but I could be wrong. We shall see.
