State of the Markets

For Tuesday,

Is is just me, or is the term "Economic Stimulus Package" a little politically incorrect? Putting aside the juvenile response I give when anyone says "package," I feel that to say our economy needs stimulating is UNAMERICAN. Our economy is GROWING... just more slowly at the present time - 

Has America really left its growth spurt behind, or are we still growing and like our pubescent high schoolers, just needs more sleep to enable the growth? - deep thoughts...

Truly the market will take the State of the Union in stride before the Fed announcement and Unemployment Situation numbers coming out later in the week - there reports will have a much more dramatic effect on the market.

I still think the market will continue to rise during the regular trading hours leading up to the Fed announcement on Wednesday -
