Fidelity is paying me .01% for my free cash. Does that mean I am earning 1000x your savings accounts earnings?

I just bought NYB today. I aleady had way too much in financials, but it still looked good. I will be buying more GE, GLW, QRE and BX this week. Goldman just issued a good report for GLW and BX.

I'll go with the market likes to climb a wall of worry.

Lots of things looming that are known and probably priced in. Europe is a long term fix but they have put a floor under the banks that looks pretty good globally.

Definitely an international flight to quality, look at the run of the big dividend payers.

Even with the economy so weak US corps a very healthy. The 08 mess has turned them into lean mean fighting machines. They have become a ton more efficient and are hoarding all time highs of cash. They are making money in this economy and if we get even the slightest uptick in the global situation they will reap big rewards.

The unknown is the thing we should fear.

"There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ”

—United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

The things we do not know that we don't know are what could put this market into a correction. That and playing too much kick the can with the fiscal cliff (and yes I think congress can be that stupid).
