Some anecdotal evidence for margin calls on Monday past: changewave.com Noticed CTXS up again today and then tonight read in LA Times that there is insider buying, and then coincidently read at above site, that CTXS a beneficiary of ongoing rollout of Win 2000. Also INPR acting strong, may just be Comdex or BEA earnings bump? Down ward action in SUNW today after reaffirmation of coming quarters strength is interesting. Either just more margin selling or looking out to Q1 and Q2? Noticed end of day dumps in some stocks like recent optical IPO OCPI. Just rambling. Appreciate the input on this thread tho' mostly lurk.

Remember that Holidility works on the side that has momentum. Institutional money is generally long IMO. With them on vacation and the individual investor ruling on Friday and again at the end of December, I expect little in the way of rallies. Individuals will be taking losses. Shorts will be taking advantage of Holidility IMHO. I like what Julie said about sell ( and short) the rallies working now just as buy the dips worked last Winter. I think that Carpe thought this up in August but I didn't hear him follow up his words with actions. I liked the idea too, but could not get myself out of the buy the dips mindframe so I sit and watch my gains from a early this year dwindle. Fortunately it is a very slow process as I am still so little invested compared to the Spring.
