chartseer, although you didn't quantify the value of Wall Street's Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur Axiom, it would seem to me its value would be SOMETHING greater than NOTHING, especially in view of the 27-year historical perspective you mentioned. BTW, I used to be a military dentist. Each of us had to occasionally pull call for a week. It was an axiom, so to speak, that who ever pulled call during a full moon would have to treat more toothache patients in the middle of the night. How valuable was that axiom? Maybe not much, but I'm convinced it's worth more than NOTHING. The combined experience of many professionals over the years can't be worth NOTHING. Or can it? <g> >as you can see the "They always rally on Friday." axiom didn't work yesterday Right. However, yesterday was options expiration day. Do you have any insights into just how options expiration days affect the overall market? Ice
