With that being said, retailers still have not entered into the markets, even with banks and the government trying to entice them in. If retailers don't come back into the markets, then who will all these brokerages levy their fees on? The market is very strong because big players are keeping things propped up to try and demonstrate that the market is strong even in the face of a bad economy. I mean today, the markets should be down another 2%. Worse unemployment than GS's "revised" number and factory orders falling. Instead it is nearing positive. Hopefully the retailers are smarter this time around. These sentiment things seem very strange to me and are probably prone to very large errors.
