| Earnings continued to pour in this week and again they were generally better than expected. What is noteworthy is that few companies are warning us about a deterioration of earnings next quarter. Even in the banking system earnings have come in better than expected though they have been poor at best.

|
| Gustav missed, at least it missed damaging the oil wells and refineries on the Gulf coast, although it did do some damage. But oil is the story for the markets and the price collapsed this morning by $8.00 per barrel.

| Of course the news of the bail out of Freddie and Fannie rallied the market this morning. The strong rally at the open started to fade after the first half hour so it’s too early to make a call on the market.

|
| There has been massive fear that the end of the world as we know it is upon us. That kind of thinking means it is more likely that the end of the bear market is nigh, not the end of our economic system as we know it.

| Market Commentary: What's Next
|
|
| submitted 29 days ago by searchpros
|
| Last week we had a market that increased 4.5% from a severe oversold situation the week before. Earnings have started to pour in and they have been good but the economic statistics, of which there was a lot last week, have been, at best, poor. The one big exception was inflation; it's disappearing.
