"It's taking away some of the skepticism," said Terry Morris, co-portfolio manager at National Penn Investors Trust. "Investors are taking heart in the idea that maybe things aren't as bad as they had thought," he said, attributing some of Tuesday's choppy trading to major indexes hovering around key 200-day moving averages.
