Stop Stalling! It’s Time To Get Going – The bulls remained stuck on the bear’s goal line for the second straight day. In fact, early in the session, the bulls lost some yardage. Then, in the final 90 minutes, stocks moved sharply upward, albeit in light volume.

Some of the conspiracy theorists assumed it was a “manufactured rally”, caused by something like the fantasy “plunge protection team”.

I have written over the years that people need structure and reason to explain events, especially unexpected events. Human nature abhors randomness. As Voltaire said, “If God did not exist, man would have to invent him.”
