If you have been reading my blog, I believe we are seeing a strengthening of the market in the near-term.However, it seems like the market isn't gaining the strength being looked for.

The fed also has delayed "Backing" Money Market funds with cash, as the government promised. I have said it before, and I'll continue to repeat myself, invest in government bonds, not money markets, until a year from now and we are completely out of the woods. The extra 1-3% isn't worth the risk. And as previously discussed, start scaling into resources as a hedge if the US government can't pay for all it's promises.
