O/T Doc... it's always a pleasure participating here. I consider myself the eternal optimist also. But in regards to the market, particularly at this juncture, rather than seeing the glass as half full or half empty, I try to look at it as just a glass with water in it... A realist if you will. Anything could happen from this point. Certain odds and indicators are favoring a move in a certain direction, but that will change also in time. As optimists we know that the rewards of opportunity are with us every day. We both know the joy of ice skating I'm sure, but we both also know that it's just as rewarding to pursue another endeavor when the chances are great that the ice is too thin. It is what it is, and that's all. All the very best, and Good Trading. JM

Thotdoc, in terms of "... and then so niave in my investment strategy.", I often think the truly naive among us are the lay investors who think they know what they're doing. I stuck my nose in here for two reasons: 1) To comment on the fact that, if the action of the past two days is any indication, your optimism is not misplaced (at least in the short term), and, 2) to say that I was blown away by John Madarasz' response to your question (post #9425). He wrote a wonderful description of the probable near term, and did so concisely. I want to thank you for asking, and him for his response. Fred
