Stocks bounced today after the big decline yesterday in part because of some optimism on earnings after last night's Alcoa beat.
The rally was a bit subdued. Let's see if more earnings come in positively.
"Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy."
Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v. United States, 1928
