6. Yahoo Finance..

This week's rally got an extra dose of adrenaline after an accounting board told Congress Thursday it may recommend a let-up in financial reporting rules for troubled banks in three weeks. Upheaval in the banking industry has been dogging the market since 2007, and hope that banks might finally get relief in how they value their bad assets spurred a flurry of buying.

"We might find that the banks are not as bad, or not bad at all, if these assets are marked differently," said Doreen Mogavero, president of the New York floor brokerage Mogavero, Lee & Co.

Better-than-expected retail sales figures also helped stocks, as did positive news from four Dow companies: Bank of America Corp., General Electric Co., General Motors Corp., and Pfizer Inc.

7. This rally is all about options expiration next week...

The big boys have to cover their asses so they don't lose a shitload of money on the options. Once they cover their positions the market will tank once more. Because the average joes are being thrown out of work by the millions and they are the ones who make our economy run. They've done a heroic job, mortgaging themselves far beyond any reasonable amount they could pay back and without a job they never will make the nut.
