closed my shorts today & the hedgies in the RRSP. Many stocks bounced at 200 day sma.

The rationale is this: Longs are trained to buy at the 200 day sma (support) & shorts are trained to cover @ the 200 day sma.

Also many stocks have produced short-term hammers.

The Fed moved today to lower the discount rate which has fueled the rally on short-covering & value investors have moved in to buy stocks 'cause they think they are undervalued.

I'm in cash & will wait to see what next week brings.

I had a good run:)

By no means, do I think this is over. Volatility will continue. Currency markets are a mess & the sub-prime market debacle keeps getting deeper & now the contagion is in commercial paper. & to top it off consumer confidence has been shaken as the housing market continues to sink in the US

The question is: Does the FED have enough weapons in their arsenal.

Only time will tell...
