Hey marcos: Actually, I was pretty content with the news from PGD -- but most others sure weren't. Oh well, it's a sign of the times, I guess. "When there is a 'Highway to Hell' and only a 'Stairway to Heaven'" That's the second time I've seen that. The first, it popped up as a facebook entry when I did a search on Google. Upon closer inspection and a bit of sleuthing, it turned out to be a page of a friend I lost touch with in the 1970s. It's a small world. Cheers, Will

marcos, there was a brief and very low amplitude bounce at the start of the year for just a few trading days and then it was over. For many years that I can remember, there has always been a mid to late January swoon.....the "swoon" this year is off to its usual glum start, but with China and the rest of the world piling on, it seems to indicate economies are headed south again. .....in this kind of market, buyers stand aside. This allows algo's and shorts to walk prices down, to trigger margin calls, and with margin levels at all time highs, and outstanding derivatives even higher than in 2008, we could be in for quite a correction, as this kind of action can start feeding on itself.....but then again, it is probably a good thing as all the excess in the markets is washed away, capitulation comes in, and another cycle can start anew:-).....yes, it could take down many normally healthy companies with leveraged balance sheets, and create a lot of permanent job losses, as collateral damage, but that is the way of the new world order that emerged after 2009......no doubt central bankers will then start another QE, and engage the airforce to make it rain money if need be.....thats the thing about digital money, central bankers can go to QE infinity and bail out their banker friends yet again.
