We should be down huge based on ALL the data from this week. Remember the spring of 2001, or even worse late 2001, when the econ data was consistently terrible but the market kept zooming up? This kind of action can be frustrating as hell, but it isn't new. I don't think fundamentals matter much in any time frame less than several months. Anything shorter than that and it's all about whatever WS can get away with. Short squeezes, stop running, HFT, carry trades, Fed-funded primary dealer liquidity - they have lots of tricks in their bags, some old, some new. Remember how we used to see all these ridiculous headfakes with analyst upgrades and downgrades that would make even big caps gap and run all over the place. But retail investors have been run out of the market so WS doesn't bother with that anymore. Short term manipulation has always been there in one form or another. Seems like it used to be more blatant, and now it's more robotic and stealthy. They'll always think of something.
