Where's Batman? Can he save the day?

Okay, all kidding aside, I think we're seeing a moment where the Fed gains some traction, Ben Bernanke gains the market's confidence, the US financial authority reboot gets a little breathing room, and some of the dollar bears/market bears/gold bugs reign in their horns [and maybe it's time to go short gold, the euro, or the yen for a while].

The difficulties aren't over, but the relative bottom may be in.
