The DJ was down almost 100 points and within a minute and a half it rallied to being down only 30 points.

I'm watching CNBC and the talking heads on there are oblivious to this flash rally. I searched all the business sites and no word from them either.

WTF???

seems like the fiscal cliff talks is driving everything lately. Did something new happen there?

Don't know, but if this rally gets retraced could be an ugly rest of the day.

There was an announcement about a meeting at the WH this afternoon on the fiscal cliff but that announcement was more than an hour before the flash rally happened, so I don't think that could be it.

Same thing that happened yesterday. If anything, I find it supportive that the market dips 1% and institutions see buying opps. To me that = fair market value.

But the rally yesterday was caused by the H of Reps announcing they were returning to work on Sunday on the fiscal cliff. There was a direct correlation between the time of that announcement and yesterday's rally.

Today, I can't find any news event at the time of the mini-rally.

CNBC just said a 'new offer' from Obama was extended this morning to Bohner on the FC although no details were released other than it was a stop-gap, short-term fix to give them more time for a 'permanent' fix.

Crap! They've had over 6 months and an election to come up with something!

I wish the cliff law contained a provision that no elected federal official can draw a salary after 1/1/13 until a 'permanent' cliff resolution is passed.

You mean instead of repeated cycles of leaked rumors meant to convey the following message...

What NC said.

A lot of fund managers are not in the office and those big trades just aren't happening.
