stock trad3r may be a goofball, but I think we're in a bull market, and we've been in one for the past month or so.
The price action, vix, everything all spell bull market.
The market is saying it doesn't give a crap about bad news now - it is pricing in a recovery for late 09. If $700B of stimulus in addition to another $350B of tarp funds helping people pay mortgages and another few T of new money supply don't make a ding, then I'm afraid the laws of monetary physics just don't work.
That is what the price action is saying. Permabears get over it -- there is a hell of a lot of cash out there, and the gospel is that treasuries are tired and its time to put dollars into assets.
