'Bottoms Up'
 
Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Jim:      You could start breathing again... once again with this monster move, as the Dow rocked 179 points higher, the Great Depression, Part 2, is no longer on the table... or even the ottoman... It's now safe to retrieve your belt, your tie, and your shoelaces... because full-scale, suicide-inducing economic Armageddon has been taken off the menu...

Jim (cont'd):   

The positive drumbeat is picking up. We've just seen a lot of positive data that suggests the economy bottomed last month, and we could be in a world where every day is no longer worse than the day before...

That means this rally is real, right?... The market will keep going higher?... Isn't it time to join the land of 1000 bull dances?...



[Please note: This week, we are making special exception to our verbatim rule for our recaps, as we are staffed thin until our main "recapper" returns from a much-deserved vacation. Our full recaps... yes, verbatim... will return this Monday, the 23rd, for your use and enjoyment. Thank you.]

The Bottom Line!:     Celebrate! Because the economy isn't headed into Great Depression territory. It does look like a floor has been put in. That doesn't mean the market's just primed to go higher endlessly... that would be Blarney... We got plenty of good news about the economy, but we still need the estimates to come down before we can make a serious assault above Dow 8,000.
