The only fly I see in the soup to this rally is MSFT..if that gets fixed we are off to the races Jim, I agree but I don't play the indexes for the most part because they require almost exact timing. I pick on the ones that no one wants anylonger on the long side (good ones with REAL EARNINGS) and short the love in stocks. There is always a long and always a short but timing these indices are for smarter people than me. I am just a dumb old country boy. A few days ago the crooks were buying the "old economy" stocks and selling the techs. Today they do the reverse. It is a game where there are not enough players to cover the bets across the board anylonger IMHO. BTW, no doubt the VIX was way too high yesterday and that was why I was not short going into today (with the exception of XOM). But the vix will pull back in line in a few days and fill the gap it formed yesterday and then we will see if it can't set another higher high. :-)) Monty
