There are more than several funds that have an october FYE. There are a bunch. Why they picked oct, I don't know, other than record keeping to get stuff out the door prior to december for taxable individuals to do year end tax planning. Another reason I think Luc is wrong about his call for big down next week. -ng-

<also i read in Fleck's rap that certain big mufus have an October year end...> yes, although the actual payment has been pushed out more and more [some in March!] just in case some position implodes and they can snatch the traders bonus back who's responsible. ha ha Great risk management eh? DAK

if the real crash is coming ... mufus will be buying into the last rise. A crash is (sorry Luc) unpredictable, right? Even so, I still think we will be down hard into next week. Mufus do not have that much spare cash lying around ... they ran things yesterday and today a little, but absent some fundamental news or something that will line up a new round of suckers -- I don't know where continued strength can come from ... To save someone else the effort signed, IDKJS I'm always wrong stoopit bear, doom and gloomer
