DD, * OT * >when the market goes down it's due to nervous investors bailing out and when it goes up it's due to risk takers speculating....< Someone could write a computer program that automatically provides explanations for the day's market action after close based on the DJIA point gain (or loss). :) Some additional phrases would be "worry about Iraq", "concern about inflation/deflation (pick one)", "fear of the effect of SEA troubles" and "nervousness about forthcoming Fed action". This way the analysis could be ready 30 seconds after market close and would be just as accurate and useful as the explanations we get now.<g> GM
