OT: I still have some loose cash but if I buy too much more in my trading account I will have to use margin. Never a good idea. That being said there is nothing yet in the trading we are seeing that would indicate a failure of my indicators to predict the bottom now being put into place. The total put to call ratio is at 1.11 as I write this and that could mean we finally see a close over 1.0. investorshub.com In all likelihood the next move will be a strong rally higher. How much higher and for what duration I would not hazard a guess. I just wish I had more cash on hand. RtS

OT"Am hesitant to hold much overnight"Smart. Following news hits market: From Briefing.com 15:40 ET Floor Talk : Late rollover in equities coinciding with news reports regarding this morning's bombings in Spain being (i.e., Al Qaeda reported to be claiming responsibility for train bombings; France to raise terror alert). However, the reality of the situation is that traders/investors never were interested in taking this market home with them tonight. As noted in the 10:05 comment, the trade today was to play the morning bounce, then sell or short into early resistance. Market received an unexpected midday kick from NSM's earnings report and a variety of positive intraday commentary on key names (such as technical call by Morgan Stanley to buy Intel). But after those catalysts wore off, traders/investors began booking profits. The Al Qaeda news and French terror alert reports simply expedited their move to the exits. 15:30 ET France to raise terror alert -- follow up : Reuters reports that France will raise its terror alert on Friday and tighten security on public transport to guard against any possible attack following bombings in Madrid, Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin's office said... see 14:54 update for related commentary
