Futures today and then theres reality

Crude futures are up nicely this am. S$P up also, quite a bit. Besides the fact that the Yen weakened some overnight and European stocks were up, there seems to be no real reason for this gap up. Yesterdays gap never filled, today...only time will tell

Nothing but bad news out there. The Government is now staffing the car companies. What's next, banks, builders, wallmart stores? This is scary stuff. Hugo Chavez was swept into office on promises and popularity, not that what happens in Venezuela will ever happen here, but, just saying.

Very good article that somewhat explains this bullishness in the S&P today. http://is.gd/pQC2
