I am continually amazed by this market. A relatively small percentage of stocks are screaming(about 1% of the total market) while the majority maintain a relative order. It seems that with stock splits and momentum plays a couple hundred movers have been put in play, leaving the rest of the market in some sort of dark closet. For the movers, valuations appear to be meaningless. It seems that any consideration of value has become a detriment. The philosophy seems to be to buy a rocket, hang on tight, hope you hit the moon before you crash and burn.....whos got the pepto

ShortGal : ------>You are just rocking and rolling here.....I just wish it would predict the movement BEFORE it happens Hate to get you riled up, but you need to go pull a chart of the happenings of the interday activity on SPX before it disappears. Here is what and when ----- 12:48 EST I posted to you on TSO pivot @ 1120 ...time now....current 1119.97 2:34 EST I posted to you on TSO pivot @ 1125...time now...current 1125.01 from 12:48 EST (within .xx of the low of the day and the low since 10:++ EST) til 1:45 EST SPX didn't retreat more than a tad ( 1/2 point) and looked like the profile of a ladder leaning on a building and at that time retreated less than a point and resumed the climb until 2:20 EST and 1126.5x -------now near as I can tell , that's a 6 + point move with practically no retreat from my post to the high......( as a point of reference, I took my profit at 1124, so I didn't profit as much as I could have but I'm a chicken..... I pulled a TTMAR.....ggggg from 2:34 EST SPX fell from 1125.01 (my pivot) down to below 1121.4x within less than 20 minutes, slightly before 3:00 EST...... had I been present , I would have had puts and made a little bit more profit....... As they say on the commercial on TV--- "this is as good as it gets.......gggggg" I feel that these two posts reflect the best in short term day trading there is available for free or for fee anywhere I know of.... comments---- Regards---Nemer

Lisa, Now thats a good rumor. Let them dump our bonds. Little babies, if it is true. Hey when the Japanese were making better cars and taking sales away from American manufacturers, it was the big 3's mistake. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Pay the piper Asia for allowing the financial system to get out of hand. This is capitalism. seeya

The issue with American Banks and their exposure has been alive since late Fall. It was even mentioned on this thread several times during that period, so we are not so dumb. The unfortunate problem, is that reality has not/will not set in with investors here in the U.S. Of course, once it does, it will be obvious to everyone what brought the market down. It is not so obvious to us, because historians do it with hindsight. You and I have to do it on a daily basis, and history is just something of a footnote compared to what it takes to be a survivor in a crazy market such as this.
