Heinz - given the threat of a .5% rate hike, the least the market could do today was to tank. Another 3% down on Monday and Easy Al won't dare to raise it more than a quarter! If this piece of emotional blackmail works -- if the market is not exactly rational, but driven by the ineluctible logic of emotion -- then we'll have the perfect excuse for a major bounce, maybe even a domed house for those who have been waiting for that.

heinz: VIX jumped from 25 to 29 today signalling a certain amount of fear in the marketplace. For some time the market has tended to bounce whenever VIX reached the 30 area. So a short-term bounce could well develop on Monday. But I would view it as a good shorting opportunity for the high flyers. Small cap value stocks held up quite well today. May considering dipping my toe a little deeper here if this good relative strength continues.

I guess it's time to start the "Pushing on a string" discussion again. <g> My MDD- Down thru monday and bottoming tuesday or wednesday. New moon rally starting thursday or friday- as the fed hikes a less than excpected 1/4, or 1/2 as expected. The direction/volume of the rally will tell us if the bull is dead. They've been trying to hold the indexes up with sector rotating money since January- and it's not working real well. The generals must be fed or all the Clowns will be destroyed. BWDIK
