Latest Wall of Worry Item Goes Poof

Mubarak resigns and stock market rallies.

Well, it's not like the stock market has cratered with the unrest in Egypt. Yes, there were some concerns about the Suez Canal and the flow of oil, but after the initial one-day scare, the market seemed to brush it off.

Besides, oil prices are rising in an environment of rebounding economies. And there is also a (narrow) margin of crude surpluses of 4 million barrels a day.
