Jonathan,
>> some likely sellers: mutual funds seeking redemption capital;
Speaking of redemptions ............. By the way, I think this makes approx $30 B in 4 weeks. And if this is the case, it is not a matter of shorts doing us in, but the average joe walking away with what's left of his wallet. If only I was that smart back in April.
Sarmad
edit. I wonder what it will take to bring this money back into the market ? Higher prices ?????
