I guess Greenspan is witnessing the popping of the real estate bubble which he helped to create by flooring interest rates. When will they learn ? Is the equity bubble next ?

I think the 1929 scenario may be closer than we think, but one would hope not... the weekly pattern of the DOW is not constructive for a rally, maybe just famous last words here, but the weekly pattern looks like it's pointing still lower for the moment... of course, if we rally next week, then just forget what I just said...<g>

"Someone is buying index futures to not let the market drop."

Vi, I keep thinking about this and trying to figure it out.

How exactly does buying index futures prop the market up?

It lulls institutional investor confidence that "there must be a lot of buyers?"
Or, it sends a message that liquidity is being pumped into the system?
What in your opinion is the precise link between the futures and the indices that trade during the day?
