Stock Market Back to Mediocre Levels After Rally

Indeed, much as speculated, it seemed like we are going right back into a slump where another quick fix might not have been as long lasting if people were going to hope. While the Stock Market was not down below the depths that it could have been, yesterday's rally was not all that promising.

Mixed Bag at the Stock Market

It seems like today was a tale of two different stock markets, as far as investors would assume. The Dow Jones and the Nasdaq posted moderate gains, but the S and P 500 had a moderate loss right on the stock market. Those who are keeping a close eye right at the stock market might as well have their heads spin as they are trying to get some kind of measure of what directly the winds are blowing.

The painful lesson that has been learned has been reinforced. People tend to get a little excited for one day of trading. Suddenly as people feel the need to catch their breath, the excitement dies down and it hits a flattened level. Thankfully, it has not dipped below a certain level, so the markets remain rather solid enough and hopefully are poised to conclude the week with high gains.

The Fed also wants to make Bank Rules clear. Reigning in the banks in some way is perhaps step one to helping heal some of the damage, but it must be done with care. If this is another hackneyed quick fix like it has been done in the past, then we are just sunk down to the same level once more. But we'll see what the Feds have in store for the banks in the coming weeks. Whether it be for the best or for the worst.
