Looks Cute But Would You Marry Them


Look, this is simple, the market is going to freak out next week.

Obama unveils "THE PLAN" on Monday and from then until Friday, I will almost positively bet the house or at least the garage, ok the driveway, that the market goes up, mostly up, at at least semi-up.

I will re-read this on Friday afternoon and probably cringe but Monday through Friday will spell some relief. Instead of being 60% down, we might be oh, 58% down.

Considering my market predictions are more wrong than right, I still feel optimistic. But its still a shotgun wedding, there's still no depth to the emotion, the love could flicker out in an instant, but the night's passions will be hot and memorable.

Reuters: Bank rescue plan could extend market gains
"Next week could be one of the most important weeks for 2009," said Thomas Lee, U.S. equity strategist for JPMorgan, in a research note on Friday. "Whatever plan is unveiled, it will establish a framework to rehabilitate the financial system."
