Greetings Bernard: Wish I understood triple witching more. Volatility always seems to be connected with it. Why? That will end tomorrow morning, FWIW. Some permabulls I know have suddenly turned bearish. LOL Maybe since they have thrown in the towel things will start looking better; but from where I'm sitting it doesn't look like it yet. Regards, Chiz

The "MARKET": Will have to watch and see if the DOW can hold the 9,900 at the close for the week-end and the NAZ the 1900.<g> I suppose the market is putting some pressure on uncle Al for a 3/4 point cut next week.<g> If he does less than that I think the present down trend is not going to change. If he cuts 3/4 it seems we will still have to wait and see how "the market" reacts.<g> At any rate, I suppose we are still going to have some high volatility days and those that get motion sickness on roller coasters should better not keep to close a watch Bernard

Bernard: In the past I would move money into equities before the FED meetings... The last few meetings have proved this approach to be wrong in the current environment... Everything hinges on the perception of the FED either being ahead of the curve or behind the curve... Anything less than a 3/4 point rate cut next week will destroy any personal faith that the markets have in Alan Greenspan... The housing sales and car sales may muddy the waters for the FED... These are lagging indicators... The FED uses the rear view mirror too much... It needs to base its decisions on more real time data... This Tuesday will bring one of the most important decisions that the FED will make in the next 3 to 5 years... I hope they've shifted focus from the rear to the front while trying to steer the economy... Jim
