Maybe we should buy OLB stocks as a hedge. Didn't know you could buy stock in Outside Linebackers. Whayda know. The market never ceases to amaze me.

A question- are there independent bodies who try to measure this data in advance? I would think there would have to be-way too much money at stake not to try. It doesn't seem a statistic like this should be so mysterious, although we know how much they love springing it on us! Thanks for all the good information- great thread. -Kate

Online brokers would run coincident with the market rather than as a hedge. Brokers generally start to turn up if the market turns up or the early earnings reports turn out well. MWD and BSC report a month ahead of the main body of broker earnings reports after the end of quarter.

American Spirit, I say that if the Economy does not go into a soft landing but rather a recession ( as all previous corrections have) then the high PE Naz is going to get gored by falling profits. If the Economy does not slow down by Aug Sept, I bet you Al will do the patriotic thing and raise rates. By that time Bush will be 100% ahead anyway, so raising rates won't matter, :-) TA@FaithfulRepublicans.org TA Message #53429 from American Spirit at Jun 8, 2000 4:51 PM ET Cash is not king of the PPI numbers are as expected tomorrow. Plus we know Greenspan cannot raise rates after this next month due to elections. We'll see about these numbers which are really just an excuse for the market to rally (or tank some). But oil prices have started down, there is plenty of upside to this market and there are still plenty of buyers out there. Even today I didn't get my low limits filled. I got scared early and profit-took on QCOM to clear cash (probably a mistake). End of day I tried to buy a bunch of them but only got UIS at 26. Still a good buy. Was trying to catch AAPL, CPQ, NOVL and LOR at even better prices. No dice. We'll see what happens tomorrow but I'm sticking with my Naz 4350 prediction this month. May be a few bumps on the way though which means active trading. Maybe we should buy OLB stocks as a hedge. gg
