HB, I have gone through a few periods of tough love before. Boy, the last 2 1/2 weeks have given me a sense that I haven't even imagined in my wildest dreams. As of yesterday I thought SCH was under control and I was even considering flipping my puts for calls as I have been witnessing monster volume on DUNG. Today's rally caught me by surprise and I have had no time to react at all. Scrap my earlier feelings of feeling like shit.

No doubt. I have read about the similiarities of 29 and Japan in the 80s. South Seas. Tulips. etc etc. But the fact remains that this market has rallied on every and any kind of news - both good and bad. Now I realize that that by itself defines the current mania, but what factor could concievably stop the upward momemtum? I could envision several scenerios that would cause a steep sell off but frankly I believe after a few days it would be seen as a buying opportunity. And thus the rally would continue. This current "mania" encompasses not only the small retail investor but the large institutions as well and is perpetuated by the media and WS pimps and spin meisters (frankly there is more spin in WS then in the White House). It would take a series of events setting off a kind of domino effect to really shake inveestor confidence (greed). And I'll be damned if I can see what those events could possibly be. It sure wont start with next weeks FOMC meeting. MZ
