Why You Can’t Trust This Market
U.S. stocks rallied on Friday. The Dow rose 1.7% to 11628.06. The broader S&P’s 500 climbed 1.1% to close at 1292.20. The Nasdaq closed 1.4% higher at 2414.71.

Fannie and Freddie: Final Death Throes or Back in Business?
Stricken twin mortgage giants Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) are making a surprise rally. Fannie added 19% to $10.93, after rising 31% yesterday. climbed 21% to $8.33 after a 30% gain yesterday.
So were rumors of their death really exaggerated? David Newman thinks not. Forget them, they’re as good as done.
How should you protect your investments? First off, don’t listen to Ben Bernanke or Hank Paulson – when their lips move they’re lying. Secondly, don’t listen to the talking heads on TV. Finally, diversify. If all your investments are in stocks and bonds, get a few fingers in the precious metals ‘pie’ too.
