IRAQ RUMOR BROUGHT TO SURFACE AGAIN BY SHORTS - CNBC reporting that the rumor that U.S. troops were in Iraq came out the same time as the Consumer Sentiment number. It's pretty clear that the shorts were using that rumor as a "double whammy" along with the consumer sentiment number to tank the market so they could make money on the downside and perhaps get long into some positions at better prices, too. Made a buck in last few mintues on QLGC off lows on Market overreaction. It bounced right off 41.00, now over 42.

That tank job may have showed the "whites of the MMs eyes" as Zeev sometimes puts it. This is a volatile, skittish market. Worse yet, it is seemingly pricing a very strong recovery. A traders market for sure, I can't see why one would hold stocks unless one is holding for the VERY long term. And I don't mean until July.<g>
