Some of the financial's reported earning not as bad as analysts expected. There we go; driving the market up on relief that guys who trade to make 8 figure bonuses just beached the ship rather than sinking it.

It's a start.

Reversion to the mean.
Ultimately the market will fluctuate around some measure of earnings. When people were panicking, I was buying.
