After a period of a few weeks in which investors and analysts felt a little better about the prospects of the economy at the end of the year, the pallbearers have returned. The enthusiasm about a recovery in the banking system was sandwiched by bad news from bank analysts who think the largest financial firms will have to raise tens of billions of extra dollars on the one side and Congressmen who say that they will not provide more TARP money on the other.

That leaves investors and traders who look at earnings as essential to their decisions in a huge fog bank which does not show any sign of lifting. And, it won't. Buying and selling stocks is now based more on rumor and momentum than it has been at any time in recent memory. The last period like this may have been early 2000 during the Internet stock craze.
