Stocks Rise Moderately after Zany Session

Stocks were indeed mercurial today having covered a lot of territory.  Personal income and spending and inflation were well within the expected range.  Fed speaker Evan said that the Federal Funds Rate should remain near zero through much of 2015 due to low inflation and substantial unemployment.  The Dow, which had been up as many as 150 points, closed up only 58 as news came of the Russians hovering at the Ukraine border.
