So, on the news that one company, Cisco, is making a slightly larger profit than expected,... the NASDAQ soars 7.1%, the DOW leaps 3.2% and the S&P rockets 3.4%?

If these Markets didn't have me scared before, they sure have succeeded now! Things must really be bleak down there on Wall Street....

Yep. This is a "things don't totally suck" rally. While Cisco is relatively good news (the hit the upper end of their already downwardly adjusted earnings), the also refused to give guidance for future quarters except for they expected no growth. In this market, no growth is better than negative growth.
