TM, I know engineers like to make it simple. They simply forget the bridge was built to not have to walk the canyon. But, usually, it is much more complex. I will state again that, before AG raised rates the first time, the only thing that I saw as inflationary was AG raising rates. But, rates don't matter anyway. On the issue of rates, I've come to the conclusion that the fed always follows the market. Lowering rates have not helped this market in a long time. The real issue involves the visability of earnings. SEC reg FD killed the goose. Companies are not going to go public with their views, knowing that there is a hoard of lawyers waiting to slap class action law suits on them if they are wrong. The SEC needs to stop chasing 14 year old kids and address the real issue, the pimps of Wall Street. We also, being American types, forget what an effect it had for no one to win the election. It ground our entire economy to a halt. No one was willing to make a decision until this basic outcome was determined. Bottom line is that the only issue that really matters is whether the fed is expanding the monetary capacity, and it sure looks like it is. Again, I say to you: you made the right decision for the right reasons. The bear cave does not have light switches. As brutal as it is to be on the wrong side of the trade, you (we, us) just cannot get them all right. Frankly, I thought that it was fantastic that the Cubes held up as well as they did. The way I view it, any positive move today is going to break the trend to the upside. With option expiration on Friday and the fed meeting next week, it is going to get interesting. Just a View from the Swamp (before I retire to bed) TB

Skoal TM! (^_^) Ya know the tech revolution was(and is) great.(IMHO) Its just that bubbleologists got a little carried away with the possibilities. Bidding for your groceries online fer heavens sake! Lets all buy ads from each other with funny money and develop a real nice revenue growth stream! I asked Quote.com for the top 10 US indexes in percent gain at the close yesterday...at first the page was blank, then they found one BTK.X at a whopping 0.0% gain? It was really ugly. I also lurked around the other threads and checked my peoplemarks of those I consider the sharpest and most surehanded traders(outside of this sandbox :)) and the resignation was really high. Most have us on the edge of the cliff. On the plus side, the SOX is really trying to be the "little engine that could", and AG saved his ammo earlier this month (though some would prefer he empty his revolver now-ggg). I really wanted to "steal" mister softee mar 55 calls yesterday. Max pain @ 60, daily and weekly trendlines overhead pointing to 57-57.5 area. Being "lead sled dog for QQQ" I figure it will juice the leverage in my small QQQ holding. Course that goes both ways GGG. Also, wanted to boost my gold stocks with the short squeeze going on there and the real nice weekly chart. Also, may act as a hedge in worst case scenario. If OEX doesn't get its butt back above 600 today I may just go to all cash and put it in a Japanese bank!!!...NOT! -John
