My last post (July 21st) made reference to several indicators that stocks' analyst use to declare a bottom in a bear market. One a half month later we are yet to see if that was a bottom or just a cojncidence of indicators, as the market is at the same level after several up and downs.

Now that the US Treasury has stepped in to save Fanny and Freddie, we are having a rally that could signal the start of the end of the financial crisis....or maybe could be the end of the start.
