Are Bulls in Charge or the Government Mules?

Today there was a strong, robust rally at the end of the session after last-minute rumors that Goldman Sachs (GS) reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This awakened the bulls, and stocks pared most of their losses by the close.Some body or some bodies didn't want the stock market to experience a meaningful correction after the impressive 6 or 7 day run up that the major averages accomplished. Tomorrow's options expiration Friday will be interesting, and there is no-telling (except today's closing clues ) how tomorrow will end.
