    Good morning Traders (thanks for the handover highlandlad),

    Welcome to Day 8 in the DT pre-market, morning & afternoon 'Trials'!

    Stocks surged last night on optimism after Bernanke pledged to keep interest rates low for the foreseeable future and to provide more tax breaks in the US to stimulate employment, reassuring investors.

    DJIA Index: Finished the session Up 91.75 pts.
    SPI Futures: Up 22 pts.

    Of Note: Durable Goods Orders, Jobless claims & the Fed. Balance Sheet all come out in the US tonight; and Bernanke speaks again before the Senate Committee on Banking Housing & Urban Affairs. [Source: Bloomberg]

    Gold is Down $6.30 and is currently sitting at $1,097.20/oz (Kitco); Oil is Up $1.14 to $80.00/barrel (NYMEX/Bloomberg); and the AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.8929 cents (Forex. Live).

    Have a great day trading today all!

    Cheers, Tweets (:

    PS: I know that Buffett has already put this article on the 'pre-market' thread this morning, but for those of you that haven't see it yet it's certainly worth the read. It's regarding a HotCopper member who was recently sued for bagging a Company and its Director's Cyber poison-penner hunted down and sued!
