Heinz, I suspect that we saw yesterday a perfect set up for a big downmove. In terms of sentiment swings, I have seen a lot of short-term sentiment roll over in a big way to the bull camp.

But when I look at the (admittedly impressive) move yesterday, I can't help noticing that despite the euphoria, we are still below the highs made on the 7th/8th of this month. Now that, combined with the fact that so many are raging-ly bullish at the moment indicates to me that this move is tearing away the short-term bearishness which kept us from moving below 1275/1280 in the S&P. I now expect us to begin our next big downleg. Look at the flash-return of net-euphoria yesterday. That's not bullish, as far as I'm concerned. And AOL and CMGI, while they could move a touch higher, have largely satisfied their requirements for a retracement. The next downmove would be the death knell for those who were in margin-danger last week, and "narrowly escaped"...only to buy more yesterday.

As you say...nobody sees a break coming after yesterday's price action, do they?

(now I'll probably get my contrarian butt kicked <ggggggggggg>)
