futures are probably down
The futures are down because it's October, and Halloween is right around the corner, and the goblins will get ya if you don't watch out!.

Seriously though, This is the time to sell off those real losers (like CPQ) to offset your winners. It is the month that started with the curse of 1929 and has held all the big declines since (even though I remember an August that burned me pretty bad). The market is forward looking, and a few months forward of October is the next year, a new beginning. Wring out the old, Ring in the new. Nobody but a newbe buys a fund starting now until New Years.

October is time for the feeding trough. It's time to pick up those shares that you wanted all year but didn't pick for one reason or another. How do you know if they have fallen in range? or not fallen enough? or are they the tax loss loser that won't go anywhere? You don't! You have to go for the stocks you desire and if you don't think they have fallen enough (but aren't sure they are going to fall any more) you dollar cost average your way into them. That's how you have a Happy New Year.
