Yowza, yowza.  The headlines are big and splashy:  The Dow has roared back.  Twice this week, it’s topped old record highs going back to ‘oh-seven’ –in the days just before the Great Recession.

After all the dire sequester warnings, it’s a good omen, right?  Can we dare hope that if stock market investors are feeling good, something good is finally happening to our economy?

Are the jobs coming back?  Will our 401ks start growing like fatted calves?  Well, life isn’t simple and neither is the economy.
This hour, On Point:  We talk markets, the economy and hopes for the future.
