Today’s Call: Dow Jones Industrial Average to rise. Currently 12,004.
Rationale: Despite the fact that there is simply no good news or reason to buy stocks right now, the increases in the M2 Monetary base generally go into the stock market first. The only question is whether or not it will overwhelm the shorts. Our guess is that in 72 hours it will.
