This is what I was thinking when I was talking to another person about the subject recently. There is allot of money being moved into the stock market by the institutions in particular the fundies. Also I hear that for a very long bull market, its top can take a period of time to unfold. I agree that this can be a very dynamic period in the market. Hedging practices and program trading by the institutions can help to create this volitility. I think the markets volitility will fool many into thinking that the market has more upside to go, or due to the volitility together with how there will be stocks that are still getting exposure and making gains in a topping market, they will think that the market is still going "somewhere" when it is actually topping and large monies are selling. But for the trader, I can see where this can be an interesting and profitable time. Bob Graham

<<The last leg of any bull is often the most dynamic.This market reminds me so much of the Japan market of the 1980's>> This current bull market has been going since 1982 and has a ways to go still in my opinion. Baby boomers will be net savers until at least 2010. We are in a period of declining deficits and low interest rates. Of course that could change, but the fundamentals are in place for the bull to continue. But as day traders, why do we care? A good down market with volatility would be great and very profitable. I would feel bad for the economic damage it would cause, but who am I to argue with the market. :-) Let it go where it may. It really doesn't matter to the day trader. Jay
