Financial sector result better than expected?

Saw some decent gains in US financials yesterday adn Ford unexpectedly goes to profit.
That seems to limit the downside in the short term.

Samsung Electronics is up today on the back of good results and a better than expected forecast this year. I still see more upside in Samsung. TV, mobile phones and Dram are all going better than last year in spite of US slowdown. Weak won is also helping.
