The Global Bounce

By Kirk Shinkle

Posted: October 31, 2008

Take a look at how global markets are faring over the last few days, according to Investment Postcards:

The bounce may not last, but it's great to see a few good sessions as we close out October. A few green days could easily reverse, but the concerted gain across the globe is a sign that markets are at least starting to take notice of global rescue measures initiated recently to prop up the banking system.

Elect Obama, see bounce continue. Elect McCain, see bounce evaporate. All over the world, too.
