It is my guess is we’re seeing is a “dead cat bounce.” Speculators and those that think a bailout will be passed have jumped in the market to reap some quick gains. Others may be jumping in trying to cover their short positions. Only time will tell if my guess is right – I have a feeling that it is.

What do you think? Have we hit the bottom, or are we seeing a “dead cat boune.”?
