Terry >If I believed in conspiracys, I would even think that Bush conspired to bring the market back. The turn on all the major indices took place at exactly 14H40, not 5 minutes before or five minutes later. We are talking about the 30 Dow stocks, 500 S&Ps and all the NAZ stocks. That's a pretty big market cap --- in fact, the biggest in the world--- and they all turned up at precisely the same moment. If that's not manipulation, and by a pretty heavy hitter, then I don't know what it is. www2.barchart.com Today will be enormously interesting because I just have the feeling the bears are going to take on the Fed / Plunge Protection / etc --- and the bears will win. The proverbial is going to fly. The USD tells the story quotes.ino.com

All is quiet along the Potomac. DOW down but silver and gold stocks mixed at best. Gold down 80 cents. The CSA Virginia was sunk by our boys to keep her out of Union hands. I have to say that I know a lot of people mauled in this market but who still have a decent amount of their portfolios left. I don't care to see these people wiped out completely. At my request my fiancee asked her portfolio manager over a month ago to get 5-8% gold/resource funds into her account to hedge against a falling market. His response was that gold won't hedge against anything because it is too volatile and his company (Strong) didn't have a gold fund anyway. I submit that a conservative portfolio down 10-15% this year is volatile as well. I have heard of others getting this kind of reaction from their FA's. It is hard to get a golden egg into the henhouse when the fox is in charge of security.
