Hm... So manufacturing is still contracting (although not as badly as we thought) and prices have skyrocketed. How exactly is this dollar AND equities positive?

They are not positive. What is - is the market is going up. WhyTF does anyone care why. Markets going up, go long and vice versa.

The reason I care why is that irrational knee-jerk reactions tend to turn around very quickly, whereas logical market reactions are more likely to be sustained for a tradeable period of time (tradeable for me that is, since I rarely day trade).

Understand, but the markets can be irrational for long periods of time these days.

You got it right as what makes sense does no longer. Welcome to the new market where many jump in and out several times a day. Up 300 today down 300 tomorrow. This has been going on for a good while and I think it will continue... Might be a lot of cash sitting on the sidelines thus jumping out in good news and jumping in on bad news... Crazy and what my beliefs about it does not change, so we just go with it and stay in for shorter time.

I still maintain my view that it's most people looking and saying "Well, it's not going to be as bad as the doom and gloomers say and we all know it's hurting for the time being, but we're going up out of this mess", so bad news gets shrugged off. As far as today's PMI being contracting (under 50), it was still less shrinkage than expected, proving the theory that things aren't going to be as painful as was gloomed to be to certain people. To some of us, it may be a case of looking at things and saying that yes, a 55 is a better grade than a 32, but it's still a failing grade none-the-less. Then, the reaction I think we're seeing here is, "hey, we were expecting a 32 but we aced that with a 55!". Still a failing grade, but nearly as bad.
Never underestimate the powers of the Force.

Hey Merlin, I guess that's what you wanna read :

April 3 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire George Soros called the current financial crisis the worst since the Great Depression and said markets will fall more this year after a brief rebound.

``We had a good bottom,'' Soros said yesterday in an interview in New York, referring to the rally in stocks and the dollar after JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to buy Bear Stearns Cos. on March 17. ``This will probably not prove to be the final bottom,'' he said, adding the rebound may last six weeks to three months as the U.S. moves closer to a recession.
(...)

The euro has climbed 7.5 percent against the dollar this year and the Japanese yen has gained 9.1 percent. These and other currencies may continue to strengthen, he said.

``There is an increasing unwillingness to hold dollars, though there's a lack of suitable alternatives,'' he said. ``It's a period of heightened uncertainty.''
Federal Reserve officials dropped their benchmark interest rate 2 percentage points this year to 2.25 percent, and Soros doesn't see that they can lower the rate much further, given the weak dollar.

``We are close to the limit,'' he said.

Cramer is also calling for a selloff, which then put us in "officially clueless" mode.


Take profits while you can , Cramer told viewers during Wednesday’s Stop Trading!, because this market might be ready to snap back from yesterday’s rally.


“I really think we’re in an incredibly overbought moment here where I am concerned,” Cramer said. “The last time we were this overbought we caught a 1,500-point decline in the Dow. That’s worrisome to me. I want people...to ring the register on the hot stocks.”
