10am update - here comes the Bernanke

The main indexes are moderately higher, and we're challenging yesterdays new high of sp'1674. Oil snapped lower as the market opened, -1.5%. Metals are holding onto their opening gains. More importantly though...the Bernanke is due to speak.

Summary

Frankly, I think this morning is a treacherous time to trade.

I'm trying to resist doing anything!

Time to arguably just sit back..and watch the Bernanke.

UPDATE 10.15am...Bernanke speaks...

Indexes showing some very poweful surges..no doubt helped by massive short-stop cascade.

Metals soaring..Oil...recovering from an earlier 1.5% snap.

Its pretty wild out there!  Too wild for me, I ain't getting involved.
