That means after the FED is out of the way earnings forecast become the focus point. Should be quite interesting come June 1 and the next couple of weeks then.

Tom and all, First thanks for the RMBS heads up Friday. I covered the short in the morning knowing that I wouldn't be around from 11:00 until the evening and I didn't want to take a chance on a big, positive spin during the CC or the stock spiking into the FOMC. I'm looking for the next short entry point. I think we get a .50 but would prefer a .25.
