I’ve been saying (just read through this summer’s posts on this blog) that after the last of the severe cardinal events in July, August and September we would start digging out of the worst of the economic problems, and this appears to be the case.  Today the Dow went up nearly 200 points, marking the fourth straight week of gains  following improvement in durable goods orders.  I really should have listened to my own advice and bought in during the August doldrums!

Still, as long as Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct in the sky we’re likely to see some sudden (Uranus) swings of optimism (Jupiter) that may not always be grounded in reality.
