DOW up 500 points
 

I've been hearing a lot of talk about the market improving. It seems as if the DOW has been going up and average of about 200-400 points daily (at least the days I look at it). DOW went up 500 points today! Have we reached the rock bottom and beginning to improve??

And it keeps getting better.

This is a temporary improvement. This up wave will last about 2 months. Then it will hit low, lower than this time.
