Comments »Given much uncertainty for equities and the economy; it is being touted that Bernanke will be dovish if he so pleases.
[youtube://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDwKuYWVMvo 450 300] Comments »All attempts for a Santa rally were dragged down in Europe and the U.S. banking sectors. Declines further accelerated on the proposed adoption of the Basel Treaty rules and the ECB failing to negotiate a loan program via the IMF.
Mario Draghi had some low note commentary and then BAC broke $5 helping traders to fade equities.

Comments »“Stocks are set to rebound like a “raging bull,” as a housing recovery and greater energy independence blow additional winds in the sails of the next equities upturn, says Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citi Investment Research.
Investors are still reeling from the housing bust and ensuing credit crunch and recession followed by a sluggish recovery, market volatility and zero price gains.
“The investment community is distracted by having lost 50 percent-plus in stocks twice since 2000, the plunge in home prices, peak-like profit margins, employment challenges and a potential European sovereign debt/banking crisis,” Levkovich writes in a note, according to CNBC. ”
