Ugly SPoo close possible here. This morning's
gap is only 1.5pts lower from here. Hard not
for the pit to test the stops there after the
institutional selloff out of Cargill and Merrill,
the second or third of these in the last few trading
sessions. Appears a hedge fund or portfolio manager has
been selling since 1345 on Dec through those desks if I
recollect correctly.(Please note I'm am just guessing
based upon reported flow from the floor.)

In any event, today's action was nothing to get excited
about if bullish. To a bear it seems higher prices have
again been met by selling and the sustainability of the
upward trend remains questionable. BWDIK.

Def, Cargill is acting on behalf of hedge funds? or are they trading S&P futures for their own account?

Are you sure it's not just Cargill's massive proprietary trading book doing some of that volume..... I have heard that it's been expanded in the not to distant past. But I have not hard numbers on it.
