As of the close, we saw a bit of a fade from the highs...

The FOMC decided to stay easy, with the target rate remaining at 0 to.25 bps.

The Treasury announced the receipt of over 100 applications for the public-private toxic assets swap meet.

Ken Lewis had his big referendum today at the B of A shareholders' annual jamboree, and as of this writing, the results on the vote tally are still unclear.  Will he stay or will he go is still the question.
