OT: "Is it finally time for a massive corporate move to new generation machines?" Well why not if they are free? But why? to increase productivity? Because of all the neat new features? Because of all those profits burning a hole in corportae productivity? the only obvious buyers that come to my mind here are the Federal government agencies and their contractors who have a floodtide of new spending for IT. IMO.

If I may just point out some obvious things here today: bonds reversed, dollar has popped up a little, the market clearly rallied, the put call has remained high all day, the VIX has dropped below 38 (coming very near the historical point of no return again), and max pain has been fulfilled. While the bears say "well, max pain is done, now we can tank" it's important to remember that the corrallary is true as well -- we can rally. There. I feel better. the freep, scarcely being scarce

Wow. Going to be challenging the SPX downtrend line in another 5 points or so. Quite a turnaround.

Spikes like that make me a believer in some form of limited, but active PPT. Two words: Max Pain QQQ today: low $22.47 high $23.57 Max Pain $23.00 It's just like an eraser, rubbing back and forth across the account books of the options bag-holders... Unless, of course, it's something else, which is actually what I hope. Bought my first bits of URPIX and USPIX yestdadee, and would like a higher starting point for the next bite -- and even for the next few. Heck, at this point, taking small nibbles, I figure I've got more bite than the market has bull. But then I'm almost always wrong about such things.

Frigging big ass blocks going off in the spoos thats for sure. Looks like we are going to get back to the FOMC level from yesterday. Thought that may happen - now the boyz can go short <g>

Looking at the 5 min chart for TNX/FVX, both moved substantially at 13:30, in addition to the dow ramping up. I don't think that is intervention, I think it is market response to the Inventory report released then. The signs are already a bit muddier than they were 30 minutes ago, but you can still see them. [Edit] Yeah, that VIX changed direction in a big way at 13:30 too.
