There's still a few tax sellers left I guess. Looks like we'll have to wait until Friday and the next week for any gains. BTW, I detect a few TAs on this thread and would like to challenge some presumptions. It seems to me that the buying and selling of stocks is related to psychology, coinciding events in the market (as a whole), consumer confidence, news events, emerging markets (both internation and new products), etc. These occur without any pattern. I'm not saying that I can't seem to find some cyclical patterns when it comes to economics (in a macro model) but to foretell the price of an individual stock seems parallel to fortelling the weather several months out. Any particular prediction can come true about 50% of the time, which is to say, the prediction is not very useful. Just some thoughts to fill the void today.
