Jan effect...

I am not trying to spread a conspiracy rumor, BUT....

The heavy's on Wall Street have a lot too gain with market sentiment.
As has been stated often in the press, the first 5 trading days of the Jan seem to predict the overall attitude or direction of the market.

SO....if the market doesn't start all strongly a possible negative mood by investors could add to this a downturn and cause some investors to change their investing plans and put their money elsewere. This could snow ball causing a very strong negative market....

So, if you get a few LARGE fund managers to invest a large amount of their money in a few key stocks that can project the appearence of a stronger market, stocks that have high visability like IBM, GE, MSFT, DELL,GM, etc which their movement can cause the major averages to also move up strongly... Mission complete.. The trap is set...

Remember this is all happening when a lot of negative prospects are seen on the horizon...like reduce or no earnings, the Asian crisis...overly strong dollar....

Finally when a few big funds begin to move in with billions it causes others to do the same... But this can all dry up just as fast...

Regards
Don
