WOW Volt, you clearly watched too much CNBC today! My guess is that things will stay volatile through next week because of the Fed meetings. After that things should begin to ramp up heading into earning. The CNBC Nazi says "NO MORE TV FOR YOU!" C-

hi volt, my thoughts exactly! feel sorry for the millions of poor saps out there caught in a blind trap and having their accounts churned in this blatant manipulation. i own CPQ, INTC and MSFT so it's fine by me if they want to play games 'em. running down the naz just creates a great buying opportunity in the techs. if there isn't a fundamental reason for the decline what in the world keeps people from jumping big time on these gems? a lot sit there like deer caught in the headlights and don't make a move until they see them running up again. when will everyone wise up to this? <house shit= horse shit> JMHO she

Voltaire, I thoroughly enjoyed your rant. We can only hope that the houses will have less and less power as more people move to Schwab, E*Trade, and the like. Unfortunately, there always will be a segment of the population in need of so-called full service brokerage, so we'll have to continue to put up with this sort of thing. I'd actually like to see a rule against firms in the business of trading stocks making public statements about their opinions of the market and particular stocks. It seems like a massive conflict of interest to me. They can say whatever they want to to their clients, but these public statements should not be allowed. The free speech issue? Maybe we get what we pay for. INTCfan

V: The bottom must be near, the biggest contrarian indicator in my office proudly strutted into my office around 3:00 EST and told me that he had sold all his techs and was going to roll back into "traditional" companies. I asked him why he would sell some companies (JDSU and QCOM for example) at such a low price. His reply was his broker assured him this move back to the DOW was for real and that investors would now start seek out value instead of "these over-hyped, over-priced tech companies". This guy is a bigger contrarian indicator than Ralph A. What a jackass.

Professor Voltaire, Tell us how you REALLY feel. I'm relieved just reading your rant. Time for revolution! Looking forward to tomorrow; must be a glutton for punishment. jpg

Re: Post 7629 Voltage! Not to sound too mushy or ass kissing but what you said in that post made my night! I've been kicking myself ever since 4pm because I thought I should have taken action on my portfolio. But I resisted the temptation to sell because I know these bastard Houses want my stuff cheap. I've decided they can't pick this Scab. I suggest tomorrow we drive by Wall Street with our BSD's hanging out the truck window! Let's hose 'em down! I love you Porch Monkeys! Have a good night. T

Great rant, nephew. Your explanation sounds perfectly logical to me, but then again, I've been a pupil of yours for so long that I may have become right brain dominant <gg>. I'll be looking for the naz to pick up tomorrow. What's this wsj stuff? Did they interview you for an article? unc btw, good call on elon.

wanting to throw up is far better than actually throwing up agree with your Dow vs Houses collusion Value Stocks have been down so long, this only was reactive move but the size of this single day Dow move tells me it wont last a move of 100 points could be sustained with a breather day jammed in but 300 pts in single day is a joke they cannot sustain this, no way, no how, Jose Feliciano I must have counted 20-30 such value rotations last year they didnt last more than 4-5 days each we have had a few value rotations already this year been also watching Compaq and Dell for the last year almost, CPQ has led in volume every day I smell a blowoff for Dow Value Garbage Recovery / Jim
