Big volume ? How big, and where's that volume coming from ? And it's Friday on top of that. Doubt that we will see anything more than an exhaustion rally for the day. Doubt that many want to hold over the weekend. Unless you're talking about a one or two day run, which really doesn't mean much when you're not a trader, like myself.

Buying on the dips has been costly for many this year.

James, I guess you didn't see this yesterday . . .

(however, the news is already out . . .)

Expect Big GDP Slowdown
On Friday: Fed’s McTeer

“Be prepared for a fairly dramatic
slowdown,” Dallas Federal
Reserve President Robert McTeer
said of Friday’s data on the
third-quarter GDP. “The economy is
moderating,” he said. “If it lands it will
be a soft landing.” Analysts expect
3.7% GDP growth. McTeer also said the
recent run-up in oil prices poses a
higher risk of inflation than recession.
The crude price spikes have been
caused by the strong economy, not
shortages, he said.

Jim,

The GDP numbers were kind of neutral. The low reading increases the possibility of a rate cut sooner rather than later but it also increases the odds of a hard landing. The hard landing odds are very low IMO but another thing for the market to worry about. Unless we get back over spx 1400 and ndx 3400 areas in the next few days we are still exposed to another possible test of recent lows.

Peace
