Well KB, My resolve being tested this morning. This retest coming within an eyelash of breaking down entirely. We scored an intraday TRIN of 3.78 - not quite the 4.0 that would provide me my immediate buy signal, but possibly sufficient to portend a reversal

kb, Although I have largely stayed out of the discussions of relationships between politics and its impact on the markets (and I think you know me well enough by now to know that I've probably had to restrain myself a time or two), I think of myself as an inquisitive, independent thinker. Therefore, I welcome occasional discussions here of the connection between politics and the markets. I do believe that how our politicians handle the mess will have a bearing on the future health of our economic system and how the market responds, whether directly or by perception, and whether good or bad. And, I have neither the inclination or the time to plumb the recesses of the net for Balkanized sites. The main problems for Ray, as I see it is (ed.: should be "are"--sheesh) info. overload and, an occasionally condescending tone that tend to diminish the receptiveness of the reader. As for Krugman's column, I don't see it as "conspiracy theory" but as an important piece by a credible source which gives the reader a "sense of place," for the political landscape vis a vis regulating the markets--painful as it may be for some. After all, the recent discussion what Martha did or didn't do would have been proscribed under your guidelines, (She's a witch IMO, but I love her Cooking Channel show and learned ever so much on how to make the perfect souffle. <gg>). The above is JMHO of course, and it is your thread. Jim
