Financials pull stocks higher ahead of earnings (AP)

Investors are hoping that improving profits at banks will signal the economy is beginning to recover. Stocks mostly rose Monday, led by financials, after zigzagging in the early going. » Full Story on Yahoo! Finance

What does it mater? The market is run by this goverment, just like most other big businesses that they bailed out or supported one way or the other. It's like our media you can't trust it. Randy

You are right Randy!

After just two years of Democrats controlling congress, they managed to create new loose laws in banking to allow banks to fail so that the Federal Government could take them over as well as manipulate our stock market and take over whole industries. I use to think those republicans were crazy to suggest that Obama's Administration would do a thing like that. Then Obama did it - I was heart-broken. Obama lied to us all, and I can't trust him anymore. Now all Americans must suffer economically for the lack of discernment of the unaware American voter.

The bitterness that people have against Sarah Palin is unjustified and primitive. Such people obviously don't mind life in a cage run by the Federal Government Zoo.

This is all smoke, everyone is paying back their debt and the government is printing money. We are no longer nationalist while most every country in the world is. Free trade and NAFTA are killing our country and has taken the U.S. back 200 years where everything industrialized is imported. We turned from an industrialized nation to a service nation where evryone had spending power. Now, the spending power is gone due to the fact that the industries in this nation are gone. Until we get the foundation to the economy back where your average person has money, we will keep sinking and the government will have to keep printing money. This cycle will continue until we are on par with Mexico and China. We have to lower our standards (pay, retirement, vacation, the USD) or the countries that we are dealing with will have to raise their standards. This is why I hate the 2 party system, neither want fair trade.

If you think that socialism will help our American economy, you are definitely drinking too much alcohol or smoking too much weed.

The jobs needed by most Americans wanting to work ......

ARE GONE !!! ....... and higher taxes won't be bringing them back.

One of the articles I predicted whitewashing Obamas miserable policies like the so-called stimulus.

Along with the increase in conservative bashing articles to cover the hemoraging of jobs.

Realistically consider how many "recession is ending" articles there have been since signing of the so-called stimulus boondoggle yet jobs hemorage every month.

I notice the koolaiders will say "Only 10% of the stimulus has been spent and has not had time to work" when there are articles pointing out the bad economy. The same people will say "See Obamas policies work" when there is an article whitewashing Obamas failures.

To them it will be Bush's economy until the economy comes back. I predict they will say Bush's eonomy for the next 3.5 years since it is obvious to me that Obamas policies are what is killing the economy.

First the stimulous promise of not rasing taxes is a lie, the package mandates that they Fed gov't will pay the first year, but any state that accepts this package must raise taxes and pay the next 4 years. Little slight of hand. Now if the Fed Gov't wanted to make our economy strong again they would simply make the Middle Class strong again. Bring the jobs back, there is massive Unemployment and they are still playing politics and sending our jobs overseas and allowing foreign workers to come in and undercut wages so their contributors can makes bigger profits. Illegals are easy to control, simply take the jobs away and they will leave, fine the companies that hire them and fine the companies that hire the compnaies that hire them. Put a bounty on them and let local police take a cut for doing all the work and there will be a nice bit of change for the border patrol to beef up patrols, or simply let National Guard do their yearly training guarding the borders.

The rise in the value of all B5 recipients is artificial. That's Barack's Bank & Bonus Bailout Bonanza. They are either hoarding cash, feasting on the carcasses of their former competitors or manipulating the money market. They are still carrying all their toxic assets, etc. The way that the execs that work at these companies are directly helping the economy is that are spending their taxpayer funded bonus checks on parties, home improvements, vacations homes, etc. The undelying econ is the same from this failed "stumulus" - no job creation. No Jobs = no long term growth.

It is all a big lie. This country is heading for a serious depression. Unemployment extensions for thousands if not millions of people will run out by early next year. Then what. All hell is going to bust loose in this country. We will probably be living under martial law by next year.

Actually, the Market, as represented by the international banks is running the federal government. I predict that they will try to replace the fed by coming out with a new world currency...and the "new central bank" will be a world central bank...probably a retooling of the IMF.

The only way to stop this is to get rid of corporate personhood allowing corporations like the banks unrestricted access to running the federal government, and come up with a different currency for every state...try to diversify as much as possible.
This would have to be done at the grass roots though, and i don't think most people can deal with that.
