Donald; RE:" extent... "
...powerful rally, sweeping all sectors -- now +700 SPX basis points from Monday's low, a virtual +7% increase in U.S. equity values; busting up through all resistance levels, including critical SPX 1057.1, the 200d EMA, the 50d EMA, towards next target of SPX 1073.9 on my chart, Donald.

As much of this buying appears to be speculation on Fed reducing the cost of kapital, there is now a major political factor for us to consider, in addition to fundamental earnings growth: "no action" next week would almost certainly trigger a massive sell-off.
Man, I'm glad I was not short; my core portfolio holdings gained +6% today. Although buying is obviously over-exuberant, Donald - we are getting big time kapital inflows to U.S. equities, with pretty good breadth.
>> Would not want to be long if there is no Fed action; jesus !
