Hi aj,

Greenspan speaks at 10:00 AM EST. Here's a snippet from today's Option Investor Newsletter:

Greenspan is
scheduled to speak on Tuesday morning at 10am ET before the Senate
Banking Committee. Doc Greenspan will be diagnosing the state
of the economy in the Fed's semiannual report to Congress, formerly
known as the Humphrey-Hawkins Report. While Greenspan will
delicately tip-toe that fine semantic line during the testimony,
market watchers will be listening intently for any sign of a
possible intermeeting rate cut. It was the stronger Non-Farm
Payroll report on Friday the 2nd that sparked market fear of not
getting an intermeeting cut, which was widely perceived as certain.
The FOMC is not scheduled to meet until March 20th and it seems
reasonable that given the current economic condition, a month
without Fed action is a month too long.


Your trading plan for this week sounds right in line with mine. Let's hope it works. :)

I saw that IBM gave their employees a head up on the Nazi news coming out on Friday.

Please explain.

That huge looming gap looks too good to be true.
