I'm wondering if this will become a market that it is no longer illegal to short if TARP is repaid. If so, look out below since even free money from Uncle Stupid has a limit to upside in an otherwise dead market. This market is incredibly overvalued and gets more so every day. The low volume indicates no interest in chasing this market up by anyone other than a computer who can't tell the difference. The economics say that nothing good is coming up, unless you count incompetent business news headlines like today's. Thus down is the only logical direction. Will the removal of TARP restrictions make it OK to pillage as usual? Has anyone yet issues a press release or an 8K about paying off TARP debt?

Although we are starting to hear the phrase, "green shoots" less and less. Is it normal for the majority of investment professionals to push untruths just to ride an upward trending market?
