I’m an extremely cautious bull on the current markets.  Cautious, because, if a few criteria are met, the mini bull market (or bear market rally, if you prefer) we’ve seen since March 2009 could easily tip over and provide the catalyst for the hypothetical “double-dip recession.”

This is what was feared would happen.  If the DOW managed to stay above 8000, we might be in for a recovery.  If it drops below 8000 again, all bets are off. Today, following Geithner’s speech, which provided little new information on the stimulus implementation, markets started dropping like it was another Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.
