John, I agree a dip then launch would make more sense. I still suspect that'll happen. After all, it would take a 3 day drop of, oh, 50 naz points to create a lower low, and the Naz moved that much on Friday (combining both directions!). That said, I will admit that geopolitical events beyond my predicting skills probably have some sway here. Forgetting all moral/people related issues with regard to a war being declared, I wouldn't be able to tell you if the market would react to that certainty as bearish or bullish.

I also note that posts all over this weekend say "PPT not letting us go down" yet also show bear after bear closing out shorts/puts and going long. Chicken or egg here? With the volume so thin in the markets, it probably doesn't take the PPT at all... just one person buying a few Spoos, and nervous bears (count me as one) ride to the rescue covering shorts and adding longs (not yet me). Seems pretty plain to see from here....

Anyway, I asked Freeplet what to expect this week. He responded in typical fashion:

"Dad, what do you get if you cross and elephant with a rhinoceros?

Elephrhino!

<As much as I fear/respect a squeeze here>

Ah, the bear market complement to the bull's "wall of worry".
