...What defines a sucker rally is simply a matter of perspective, and, more importantly, when investors buy and sell. Someone with the fortitude or foresight to buy Citigroup (C) earlier this month at $1 would have had a return of two-and-a-half times in a matter of days.

The reason that this year has seen so many schools fail to meet federal standards is that state requirements were very poorly structured under NCLB. About half of the states had anticipated a huge struggle...
