 | Could the news that a possible bailout of beleaguered bond insurer Ambac be the light at the end of the tunnel that is the mortgage crisis? or will it be a classic bear trap? And will the action ultimately be enough to restore confidence in the market? Investors will grapple with those questions next week if, as reported first on CNBC, the plan comes to fruition on Monday or Tuesday. The bailout plan may ultimately save Ambac's so called "AAA" rating, but one must begin to ask if the solution to the monolines' problems is more a matter of window dressing at this point. Yes, the rating has been saved, but market participants have already begun to discount the financial guarantors' wraps, with many insured bonds trading to their underlying credit. The Fast Money will be watching. Next week's action will also provide a certain degree of symmetry. Because as we learn the fate of the bond insurers, we will also get a slew of data related to the housing sector, which when you stop to think about it, was at the root of the financial distress that has now threatened to engulf the insurers. Are we starting to see a bottoming out in the housing sector, or are we in for a great deal more pain? If you know the answer to that, stop reading now and open your own hedge fund. Economic news will also move the markets next week, when the nation's top money man talks to Congress about monetary policy, and more specifically, when PPI is released on Tuesday. To what extent will the huge rally in commodities hamstring the Fed from lowering rates? Retail news will also grab headlines next week when Nordstrom, Gap and Sears report quarterly results. As gas prices continue to go higher, and home prices continue to fall, to what extent will consumer spending be hampered? All questions whose answers could be the key to making Fast Money. Before I go, a quick but important programming note. Next week, the broadcasting event of the season occurs. No, not the Oscars, or that glorified karaoke contest with the mean English judge. I'm talking about Miami Advice. That's right, next Friday, Fast Money will hit the road and go live from Miami. You will not want to miss it. As always, an open market is one in which you can make money, and we will try to do that all next week. I hope you'll join us..
