SPY could be in a short term breakout to the down side or at least until GE reports on Friday. Watch ZZ after COB today. This could be an indicator on the economy.
They're all interesting as well as pertinent questions which I, as a daytrader, am hardly qualified to answer. However, it's my opinion that Bernanke & Co. is stoking the inflation to intentionally deflate the value of currency, which is always the preferred method in a time of recession. When the global economy is in a fine shape, this would otherwise be a welcome news for the foreigners since they can scoop up pieces of our real estate dirt-cheap. But with the dollar free-falling and the rest of the world going sour by the minute, you would likely see foreign investments dry up and the treasury bonds going belly up.

Way to go, Karen! I'm sure you'll be richly rewarded.
Here's the tentative game plan I will be following in the coming days. Unload the boat once the S&P reaches 1317 and then reload the guns at 1340 to ride the market down to 1250-ish. Easy enough?
