<I'm fully "invested" for the coming earning season. > Again, depending on time horizons, isn't this a little premature? Will there not be disappointments due to new accounting guidelines, or am I wrong? <All weak hands sold their shares Tueday.> Consider the bounceback, and then just look at this thread. LOL! <NAZ can move up 5-10% short term while down side risk is less than 2%. My short % is about 30%, a recent 3 month low.> Good luck. ;) <When are you going to use your 40% cash? Another dip in late April?> When one employes one's cash all depends on why one holds and uses it. (Risk/reward and all that.) As for me, it makes no sense to gepardize current well-being if potential loss doesn't warrant it. The Fed's stated policies suggest that the market's interest-rate gyrations are not over. So we are probably in for at least a few months more market gyrations given that. Adding go-go stock accounting uncertainies, as well as still many broken tech charts, and I can only suggest caution here. The bottom line is imo is this. Play volatility only with money you can lose. Play anything other than that only with money you can hold onto through summer.

>All weak hands sold their shares Tueday Allen, what's the difference between strong hands or weak hands? I think strong hands are aggressive...and weak hands are defensive! Is that the only difference...to you? Or is it optimism vs negativism?
