CAD: Probably had something to do with our finance minister today saying that we're going to avoid fiscal deficits. As much as I hate our government, that's the right thing to do. We don't want to turn into a fiscal basket case like America is right now.

We were also hinting that due to SARS, mad cow disease and general lack of inflation (at our target rate of 2%), we're probably going to cut interest rates a quarter point next time around.. but we're in no panic, unlike what Greenspan has to do.

I also don't think that VRTY is a good proxy for the software industry or anything else in general. But companies warning will obviously get crushed.

S&P up 7 points pre-Greenspan currently.

Bonds fell off a cliff pre-Greenspan. If there is a significant negative price response to the rate cut (whatever it may be), this should present a significant buying opportunity at around the 118 16/32-119 level..

S&P up 1%.
