greenlaw- i can see why you say "too much too fast," and i have had the same sentiments, mostly because we have been trained to sell the rallies and profits dont last the last few months, now that the market has us "trained" , wouldnt that be the time to "change the rules", this could be just the start of a major move up over 3000? wouldnt bet the farm on it, just wanted to point out one scenario, i personally think this move has legs and am back at 100% long, will nervously let this run continue, i would not want to be short any fibre optics from todays close, the market always wants to frustrate as many people as possible, and with most people not wanting to hold overnight for fear of the next day, now may be the time to "start holding overnite" stay tuned

Shalom Green...Some random thoughts... This bear rally is due to various possible reasons : 1. The big boys want to eat the whole "PUTS" pie (a lot of people buy Jan. puts because they/we know the earnings will be shitty) 2. Fido might already finish to unload a big chunk of their tech holding. Small hedge funds/"smart" investors knew that fact and they turn around to mess with the NAZ. thestreet.com Growth funds love to buy CSCO, INTC, MSFT etc... so this is time to load them up. It's very easy to manipulate the NDX and the QQQ. All you need is a couple of points for the 3 big guns mentioned above plus all the talking heads on CNBC and you have a bullish market. 3. Big fund houses play along with them because they don't want the statistics to show that short funds return 25- 50% the last 3 months and they are in the deep red sea. That looks BAD. 4. It's nice to make the shorts pissed in their pants for few days. They are over-confident just like the rest of us during last March. You guys could point out more reasons for this bullish rally that we've heard the last few days on TV and radio. Anyway we should not fight the tape. Just trade in and out all day long and be ready to short for the next down turn.
