Stocks extend rally on retail cheer
U.S. stocks rallied 1% Thursday, building on the previous session's big gains, as investors cheered strong retail sales and welcomed the European Central Bank's plan to extend liquidity measures.
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 107 points, or 1%; the S&P 500 climbed 15 points, or 1.3%; and the Nasdaq rose 30 points, or 1.2%.
Gains were broad-based, with all but three of the Dow 30 rising. Home Depot, Alcoa and Bank of America led the advances.
Retailers helped prop up stocks as strong chain-store sales rolled in, signaling consumers are loosening their purse strings. Shares of Abercrombie, Dillards and JCPenney all jumped.
"This continues the trend we've been seeing in the past couple months of retail sales being better than expected," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist Schaeffer's Investment Research. "It's a very positive signal that consumers are coming back and confidence is coming back with them."

I think the guy just deserves some credit. I mean he bowled three perfect games. That right there is somegreat talent. He should feel good about himself.
All right everyone lets just take a deep breath and calm down.
Damn its cold out here.
Do not worry. We own the retail sector so new inticements and indulgences will be made available to those wishing to purchace gifts with credit cards.
This credit has been given to you by way of mezzanined traunches. Or more simply put, towers of debt.
There is no risk of debt market failure because if you don't pay your bill your neighbors will.
The Tool we have in our belt to accomplish this magic is called U.S. Treasury.
So eat drink and shop crazy. There will be no day of reckoning.
If the printing press breaks we will call China. If they want their money back we will unholster our military.
So cheer all around.
The contrarians are wrong. The market will run up 1000 points by the end of the year.
Don't attempt to create another extraordinary popular delusion.

I just wanted to THANK YOU so much for find 3.17% Rate. You were great! The closing went really smoothly on my Mortgage Refinance. As in the past, I'll continue to tell everyone about "123 Mortgage Refinance"
No problem. We are putting the Tool to good use.
You must be aware of a new Tool made available to the Fed.
It presses the last few drops of blood out of the Jobless, Homeless.
More importantly it creates vast fortunes out of thin air only for those making over $250,000. And even more for those making real MONEY.
JOHN BOEHNER is the new Tool.
Yes I,ve heard of the new Tool.
He' a rockstar and plays in a band called Smoking Orangemen.
First song is called.
What we have for you.
Second song is called.
Three rubber buiscuits.
We own the new Tool.In fact the new Tool has been working well for us for many years.
Do not worry though, the new Tool is a good golfer and works with very little consideration of its own sharpness.
Good article Thomas M Hoenig.
Finally someone real at the Fed.
