Market recap: Stocks snapped back sharply from lows after France's Hollande and Italy's Monti voiced support for euro bonds and the Fed's Kocherlakota said a fall off the fiscal cliff would argue for new QE.

No, the reason is the FED and the PPT are in buying at or just above all the 200 DMA on the indexes. Thanks to Barry (O) and Ben we keep propping up a weak market and kicking the can down the road until after the election. Either way barry wins! MArkets tank after he losed or wins.
