This may turn out to be the week...

...that populism hit the stock market. Beginning with Scott Brown's breathtaking victory in Massachusetts on Tuesday, moving on to Obama's Volcker-inspired bank plan yesterday, Ben Bernanke's uncertain future at the Fed and Obama's new-found populist rhetoric in Ohio today, I sense a new tone in the stock market. Even though earnings were mostly positive this week, equities were soft.

I wonder if this is the beginning of a correction in stocks.
