...continue for a while, but you're also saying that it could take the Dow back below 7000? What determines our fate? Whether we return to the lows will really depend on what happens to the financial-sector stocks. The government has provided many new programs to help fix our banking system, and how those programs work will determine whether the financial stocks have to go to new lows. The broader stock market has been building a technical base since October, but financial stocks are just starting to build a base. The risk we have is that financial stocks will...
...timing could not be more ideal. Days after President Obama fired the CEO of General Motors, and instructed GM and Chrysler to fix up fast or drive headlong into bankruptcy, college basketball's annual bonanza, the Final Four, has arrived in the Motor City to provide a much-needed distraction.

...stalk stalk stalk and tell your friends! Hack the system before Harvard seals it up. This crack has worked since at least 2006, so we doubt Admissions will be able to fix it too quickly, but hit that as soon as possible so you can saunter into class, smug in the knowledge that that insufferable Michael Gary in your math class won't be joining you at the a cappella jam in a couple of weeks. Until you find out it's Michael Gehry. Then you'd best check again...
