Only one post here, 6 on MDA? Are we nearing the top. Now if we could just get teh myth thread to under a hundred I could mortage the house and buy poots. <ggg>

I haven't downloaded yet so I don't have any idea what happened to day but the DOW was up at lunch when I looked and the NASDAQ was bleeding badly. I come home from work and the DOW was down and teh NASDAQ was up? Did the Fed do a coupon pass at 3:00 or just the normal Bond market closed NASDUNG ramp job?

Good Luck,

Lee

KIS, however, GZ is well known for changing his market posture on a dime...usually in the right direction. a great many people are of course destined to lose most of their gains made during the bubble when it ends, since they have been conditioned ad nauseam to expect the market and the mania stocks to ALWAYS come back. one of these days the dip will be like a poisoned pawn in a chess game...the one dip that should be sold, not bought. it will be very interesting to see how many people on SI will recognize it as such...more than in the world at large i suspect, but still not many.

Well, I don't know about "everyone" but with a direct access system, I can do a basket dump and be out of a ton of stock in less than a minute.

I do feel sorry for the people using the slower online brokers.

I detect an element of sarcasm in your comment... I trade the futures markets only and the futures markets are highly liquid... more than you realize....

My Best Regards...
