Looks like war is good for the stock market.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rallied strongly on Friday, lifting the blue-chip Dow to its best week in more than 20 years as investors found hope for a swift end to the Iraq war in a firestorm of missiles and bombs raining on Baghdad. The Dow and Standard & Poor's 500 Index posted their eighth straight day of gains.
Rather "ironic" don't you think...since most stocks have "tanked" in the last two years!
Ironic indeed. For selfish reasons, I hope this isn't a short rally. Like most folks, I've lost a bit in the market and it would be good to recover some of that loss.
