Christopher Columbus Day Parade.

Wall Street roars with the biggest single-day stock rally since the Great Depression on Monday, spiking the Dow Jones industrials to a 936-point gain and finally offering relief from eight consecutive days of stock market carnage.
It's the day of the rise of Christ-topher Columbus roaring through the high and stormy seas finally accomplishing its plan of conquering the hot & spicy trade of the Oriental giants.
Buyers returned to the stock market with gusto, with some saying stocks had been driven down to fire-sale prices.
The radar screen is completely green across the board and there are greener pastures of arable lands ahead.
Monday was the Columbus Day holiday, and the U.S. bond markets and banks were closed, making it difficult to gauge the reaction of the credit markets to the measures taken by world governments.
