"NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks rallied on Tuesday, helped by data showing a smaller-than-expected trade gap and gains by health-care stocks following an upgrade for UnitedHealth Group Inc.

"Firmer overseas markets also provided a lift, and traders absorbed a Federal Reserve official calling for gradual stimulus reduction.

"The S&P 500 SPX +0.54% gained 12 points, or 0.6%, to 1,838, working to snap the three-day losing streak that it has endured at the start of 2014. The benchmark index is climbing back toward its record closing level of 1,848.36 hit Dec. 31. "

From your article:

But overall this week, investors likely will pay the most attention to Friday’s jobs report and Wednesday’s release of minutes from the Fed’s Dec. 18 meeting, where the central bank decided to taper its bond-buying program that’s boosted stocks.

Stocks: YTD down.
Commodities: YTD down

Oops...Assets not inflating.

"U.S. stocks surged on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and Dow industrials closing at records, after the Federal Reserve moved to cut stimulus, saying it expects the labor market will continue to improve and vowing to keep interest rates low."

Of course YTD. That's a lot better than "stocks go up today" "stocks go down today" stupidity. I'll be back here next time markets go down then to point out how they're deflating?

Man, you're a clown.

Asset deflation big time today! Stocks down over 1%!!

Wow, big asset "deflation" goin' on since the start of the year (and since the Fed began the taper).

Especially out of emerging markets and stocks. Ouch.

Yeah, the announcement to taper is history, except the taper is again around the corner next week. Cutting more. Market doesn't like it. Cut printing, assets deflate.
