I stated over the weekend that a lot of money has moved out of equities..... This market is due for a pullback right now, watch out, could shave 200-300 points off the Dow short term.

West, RE: "We are CLOSER to a big fall then most even think." I would agree. However, I think it is likely we will see a last manic rally, perhaps seeing the SPX reaching 1400. The "buy the dips" mentality these days is fully ingrained. SSB

This "stock" market has an almost unprecedented pinned looked, as if there is an historic manipulation going on in the futures pits, or with some type of Robotrader derivative trading. Free, non manipulated markets just don't act this way. I really don't think it's the Fed, it's a Pig Man operation, they've captured the market, at least for now. Maybe some modern day Jay Gould and his henchman Fisk in the garb of electronic trading? Another theory, is there might even be a rogue trader or group of rogues, who has been allowed in this unregulated environment to accumulate some massive leveraged equity futures or option position, and in the short term literally hijack the market? When you look at measures such as TRIN, it just doesn't look like real money is driving this, but more like synthetic trading of some type. I'm sure books will be written when it all come to light at some later date.
