Yes, I've heard that DRAM inventories have been mysteriously declining lately, but it seems early to me for btb to turn up with end market demand for silicon trinkets obviously in the toilet. As for "intentional propping up of NASDAQ by MMs", why would they do this and how can they do it? There's a lot of liquidation taking place. Why should they deliberately prop something up?

Hi, Poet, Allan et al ... whose calls was a rally on NAZ? Both of you, as I recall ... you people are amazing. <g> I managed to waste time today trading some DJX puts for the first time ... May 88s. I did okay! That's the good news. The spreads were huge ... like, bid/ask real far apart ... is this the correct terminology? Spreads? I don't know how you guys stand the stress. Poet? It appears that you and others juggle multiple option daytrades ... how do you manage that? Can't answer the phone; leave the house, etc ... geez. I think it's worse than daytrading common ... which I did really only last year during the last big pop on the RMBSes, EMLXes, etc. Not too often then. What do you all think the Nasdaq ... specific QQQs, will do from here? I'm attibuting the 'rally' to semiconductor index announcement primarily ... but certainly can imagine the market makers having a role .. was it you who mentioned that, Allan? I'm sure enjoying the CFZ zone ... interesting comments from its founder whenever 'clowns' are referenced or show up ... He seems to have his 'favorite' clown or two ... and some very choice words for them. LOL. Good day/evening to all, bia
