Close Dow +342.95 at 11215, Nasdaq +80.86 at 2166, S&P +35.55 at 1284: The markets staged a massive rally today in the absence of any real market moving events.

Yet in the end, the magnitude of today's move is likely a consequence of yesterday's activity surrounding monetary policy.

With the fifth consecutive rate cut many investors are beginning to feel more comfortable staking out longer term positions. XOI +0.7%, S&P Midcap 400 +2.4%, DJTA +1.5%, DJUA +0.5%, Nasdaq 100 +5.7%, SOX +6.5%, Russell 2000 +1.5%, NYSE Adv/Dec 2078/1011, Nasdaq Adv/Dec 2311/1528
