Investors are beginning to fear that the stock market may be in limbo for the next two months.

Earlier in the week reports surfaced that the Treasury did not plan to use about half of the $700 billion bailout that Congress approved this fall to aid the financial industry. Instead the remaining money will be left for the Obama administration.

Although those reports were neither confirmed nor denied they surfaced at a delicate moment in the financial crisis and were more than enough to spark serious worries up and down the Street.

If the current administration backs away from the TARP (troubled asset relief program) will the economy take a turn for the worse?
