Equity Strategy : Prudential adjusts their sector weighting in wake of mkt weakness and raises their Infromation Technology weighting by 7% to 16%; lowers their weightings on Consumer Discretionary (by 1% to 17%), Consumer Staples (by1% to 12%), Energy (by 1% to 5%), Healthcare (by 2% to 11.5%), and Utilities (by 2% to 3%). Like Morgan Stanley's Barton Biggs (see In-Play for details), firm believes now is the time to get more aggressive in equity allocations; notes that stock prices fell yesterday to levels they first hit in June 1997 (when the economy was 28% smaller) and that earnings are improving (expects the vast majority of cos will beat their Q2 forecasts).

Art Cashin just said that about 33% of all trading is program trading, hedge funds flipping back and forth. -- a possible reason for such high volatility...

That's a pretty big amount, no wonder they can ramp the futures so fast...=)
