"Impressive market!!"

Thus say Dylan and Maria at 3pm EST "Better than expected!!" Wooo hoooo! I'm almost feeling all those good vibes from the floor

This is better than, ummmmmm, Armegeddon?

Would be nice to see em fess up (but never gonna happen) - the 'market' is not in another crash only cuz it looks as though the festering sore that is Citi is finally being lanced. This passes for good news of course - in fact, really really freaking great news that the not-so-long-ago largest financial services firm in the world is now dead. Good news if you're apocalyptic.... Jeeeeezzzz, what kind of world do we live in?

But back to the the moment - what happiness does the weekend bring? Things are beginning to feel rather Septemberish/Octoberish 08.... Deja vu all over again

Why do the letters "B" "O" "A" swirl about my cranium? I think it's not cuz I'm gearing up for that Saturday NYTimes puzzle

PS - bet on a close 150 points below the open, as folks with common sense and brain stems (eg FEAR) weigh in
