Okay... The active corporate buying-back of shares reduces availability. Probably under the advise of their banking partners and commercial financial advisers. Lots of this type of unusual activity starts in Business Schools and leaks out as advice from the elite financial newsletters. This is in contrast to the pull back of the retail buyer - (whether it be for reasons of financial stress or fear or lack of trust) Then you have all the crosscurrents throughout Europe and the ECU Plus the european central banks negative interest rates I believe fwiw... the commercial interests from Europe will flood the US stock markets --- leave the mid-term bond markets and buy shares in the big companies of the USA. They'll do this to counter these negative rates and the financial turmoil of Europe. Especially as the ECU crumbles. This will produce a confusing counter-intuitive unexpected rise in the USA markets. Plus the dollar will rise as well. Question: Will our Fed take interest rates negative as well? Chip
