Jim et al, CNBC was just talking about yesterday's reversal, reporting that a $100 million buy program was kicked off at 3:20 solely for the purpose of stopping the downward momentum and reigning in (squeezing) the shorts in the futures market who, per CNBC, had been getting a bit too bold. The result, according to the report, was and increase in the market value of the S&P 500 of about $150 BILLION. Clever bunch, huh? Especially if they were selling into the little squeeze they created. Gee, I though we had a level playing field. Bob PS: They didn't say, but could that program have been from Goldman?
