MARKET TALK: Shorts May Leave Before Bush Speech Edited by Thomas Granahan Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES (Call Us: 201 938-5299; All Times Eastern) MARKET TALK can be found using code N/DJMT 2:19 (Dow Jones) Word is Goldman continues to be a buyer in S&P futures. "I don't think too many of the current shorts in the market want to be short going into the President's talk this evening," trader remarks. Move above 1004.00 could propel buying up to 1011.00, he says. (CMN) 2:12 (Dow Jones) It's one thing to get the market up and running. It's quite another to resume large equity sales. But, earlier than some analysts expected, Merrill Lynch (MER) has done it, bringing the first equity-capital markets deal since the attacks. Merrill sold 3 million shares of Allied Capital (ALD) at $22.50, a deal taken down from a shelf registration, according to Dealogic CommScan. Deals for Annaly Mortgage (NLY), through Warburg, and Fred's Inc. (FRED), through William Blair, are expected after the close. (RJH) 2:00 (Dow Jones) Question of "where and when and of what manner" terrorists could respond to a U.S. strike is "another variable that contributes to the whole uncertainly plaguing investor mindset," today, says Patrick O'Hare, a market analyst with Briefing.com. "These people clearly have their own agenda and won't be deterred by a U.S. response," he says. (CMN)
