That seems to have worked because the dow which had been limit down has now bounced back and at the opening bell, we may be up 400 points. The dow will be up significantly at the opening bell. Same story with the s p and also with the nasdaq. Now, treasury secretary mnuchin, he says the Federal Reserve will have 4 trillion for loans to businesses. He says theres more where that came from and if congress doesnt get something going real fast, then they will go back to congress for more and he says the fed will provide any amount that is needed. Thats what the fed is doing right now. Thats the market. Thats the fed. Thats whats going on in congress. Now look at the price of oil. That has been a problem for American Energy producers and right now, weve got oil all the way down in the low 20s. Thats a continuing problem for texas, north dakota and for the Energy Producers and these energy stocks. How about the price of gas . That is absolutely tumbling. The National Average all the way down

Has made a number of public comments. We held a hearing, many members, republican and democrat, were present on the question of fragile states. He is, i think, appropriately highlighting that the cost of restabilizing countries like libya, syria, iraq and continuing to hold together countries like nigeria and pakistan is going to be substantial.
