Right. Especially with free beer. Which reminds me, there's a free wine-tasting tomorrow. I do wish it were not at 10 a.m.

The Color Commentator (at Mark-to-Market, from CapitalStool) has an interesting take on today's orgy...ERRR, MARKET ACTION!<G>

The Sigmoid Sisters? ROTFLMAO!

“We get this every month don't we. TA freaks now looking for a major breakout move and beginning to bandwagon the up move. Is this kind of a spike into Options Racketeering Week any different from the dozens of other spikes we have witnessed out of deep oversold going into options expiration? Of course it isn't. It is the single most predictable criminal trend in the Market. This is why you never hear anything about it from the Sigmoid Sisters, Becky Quick and Maria B. Its a joke. Happens every month. Usually starts the end of the week before operations are concluded.”

“They should just call it Al Capone Week or Mobster Week or something and have done with it. Its boring. They need to reach maximum pain levels and vaporize all the aggressive put positions bought into the slide. Whats the big drama? Where is the mystery? This month is particularly ejaculatory since it coincides with the widely publicized double bottom call of 775 SPX. They tied a big yellow ribbon around the number, stuck an American flag above it with an arrow pointing North and had Vanna White bend over in a 3 point stance all set to receive randy Bulls once the starter's pistol was triggered.”

"Without a geopolitical 'event' there will be no Market clearing. Those diehard bears camped out waiting longer term may be in for continual frustration. Silva Mind Control bottom picking rules this Market and has since 2000. Too much media cheerleading, too many memories of Oct 98'. So looks like a longer and more difficult bear, a bear in which many will have to continually navigate wild lurches and price spasms. Buyers are utterly bold and maniacal. Shorters are terrified at every turn. Replicant stocks are loose in the streets. Mutants masquerading as real issues and blending in amongst the populace. The BladeRunner Market is alive and well in 2002."
