Where does the global economy go from here?

So the Dow, over 900 points gained. European markets were also up today.

Since this jump was far higher than most people anticipated, it makes me wonder what happens next. Markets will be up and down over the next few weeks and months, since there are still many, many things to hash out in the finance and credit system. But Europe and the US are solving this by purchasing stakes in these banks. Do you think that will be a good thing in the longrun?

I can't help but wonder, after seeing what happened in Japan in the 1990's as a result of a government-managed banking system. I'd rather not see the US economy head in that direction.
