Glued to the quote screens cackling with glee? Having gotten into BEARX last week, and shorted SPY over 97 two days ago, that's kind of how I feel. Of course that's about balanced by longs in semi equipment stocks (SFAM up today though), Japan (JOF), the Phillipines (FPF), and Chile (CH). Also the Czech Republic Fund, CRF, which is actually up today. (I recall some brokerage mentioning Eastern Europe as one of two areas that could still absorb new investment and grow strongly, maybe that tout is why.) Still, at times like this I'm tickled not to be losing money. Thanks to Mohan, Zeev, Bonnie, Tommaso, and many others for interesting and useful insights on this thread. 15 minutes? It may be longer this time. Howard

GD, for some reason my access to SI is very slow. I wonder if it is the case with others. I don't really see any panic-selling most selling appears to be index expiration related. When it comes to market related action, MOT is unique. It tanks when market rally's and stays firm when market is tanking. It is not out of the woods, yet! Looks like some bears have started to cover already. -Mohan
