Anyone else concerned about the low volume on all the indices? It might mean a lot of the mutual funds are using ETF's which have established positions through options instead of actually holding the underlying stock. The result might be the next disaster waiting to happen as it might exaggerate any move in the indices. I have not found any information on this in the mutual fund perspectives, but it will interesting to know how many people outside the business understand the risks and advantages of ETFs.

Harry: Win 7 is a winner for MSFT. Win 8, well MSFT never had real competition after IBM and Lotus and then GOOG and now APPL. I still don't feel GOOG apps is a threat yet to office but APPL is a threat to the Window franchise. APPl is doing the coke and mcdonalds thing by getting the client while they are young. IPhone and IPAD making strong inroads to the enterprise. Opens up for the apple OS. It will be interesting to see APPL PC market share this year in US.
