By going up, because the fiscally irresponsible Congress just got booted out.
Bush isn't Reagan. This tax cut was a joke and we're rallying because it's going away, and maybe we'll finally have some fiscal responsibility again. Something we've been missing for 8 years.
Quote from Tuneman:
What will happen now, I think we're all in agreement that the tax cuts is a good reason why we are experiencing this bull market, and a good economy. So now that there is a threat that those might not become permanent, how will the market react?
Quote from myminitrading:
Now wait just a second, you sound just like the goldilocks running around on wall street.
The juice that took this market up was the deficit spending by the fiscal irresponsible. And the free money Greenspan provided, that gone!

There was a goldilocks running around wall street? That wasn't me, I'm not on wall street.
Free money Greenspan provided? We just got no raise from the Fed, and there's talk of CUTTING rates in Spring now due to the housing mess.
The juice that took this market up was the money everyone who got out of real estate had nowhere to dump, so it went to funds. Funds now have to spend it. Simple as that.
