		<description><![CDATA[President Obama has decided to reappoint Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to a second term. On balance, I think this is the right move. In many ways, his reappointment makes more sense than his original appointment. The worst marks against Bernanke’s record come from when he was serving on the Fed board under Alan Greenspan, did nothing to stop the bubble forming and was almost willfully blind in seeing it coming. While as Chairman, he was a little slow off the mark in addressing the crisis, once engaged he took the needed steps to pull the world back from the brink of the abyss. The role of Fed Chairman has two major components. First and foremost, he (along with the board of Governors) is responsible for monetary policy. This is the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Risky assets last week again marched higher to the tune of economic data supporting the argument of a global economic recovery. A realization among investors that the economic transition from recession to recovery was gaining momentum resulted in many global stock markets and commodities scaling fresh peaks for the year. Source: Steve Breen The S&#38;P 500 Index closed the week above the psychological 1,000 level, marking its highest level since November and capping four consecutive weeks of gains. And more upside lies ahead, said Abby Joseph Cohen, Goldman Sachs’ market strategist, who expects the Index to reach the 1,100 point by year end. (Is this a contrary indicator coming from a permabull?) Many commodities such as crude oil, copper, aluminum, nickel, lead and zinc hit their highest levels of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are the various central bank liquidity facilities and capital injections having the desired effect of unclogging credit markets and restoring confidence in the world’s financial system? This is precisely what the “Credit Crisis Watch” is all about – a regular review of a number of measures in order to ascertain to what extent the thawing of credit markets is under way. Updating the report at this time is also to gauge the credit markets’ reaction to the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) announcement of a week ago about a Fed funds rate cut and specific actions that would move the Fed further towards a quantitative easing approach to monetary policy. (Also see my &#8220;Words from the Wise&#8221; review.) With the US and some other countries pushing monetary policy into an ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I posted an opinion poll about the outlook for the US stock market a few days ago. In essence, the poll set out to determine readers’ views about the direction of the stock market over the next few months. More specifically the poll asked whether the Dow Jones Industrial Average would be up or down from its level on October 16 (8,578) by the end of October 2008 and December 2008 respectively. A total of 473 people participated in the October poll and 441 in the December poll, answering as follows: Most of the readers see the market below 8,578 by the end of October (i.e. 5.0% down from the current level), whereas the vote was about equal between bulls and bears for the period through year end.

		<description><![CDATA[The credit crisis may not be over yet, but we seem to be at an important juncture with governments around the globe attempting to address the root of the problem. The most recent capital injections and federal guarantees have caused a sharp reduction in default risk as shown by Bespoke’s index of bank and broker default risk (measured by credit default swap (CDS) prices). “Last week, default risk was factoring in a scary likelihood that the entire industry would actually collapse,” said Bespoke. “So far this week, our index &#8230; has declined by a whopping 67% and is at its lowest level since June 23rd!” &#160; Although this is a good sign for both the credit and equity markets, one would also like to see a significant retracement in measures of ]]></description>
