Nemer, I really enjoy the java applet on Quote.com watching the futures in after hours, I wish the insta-net would expand and that I could watch that too.. Explain a little more about your idea of cash driving the market, are you saying that the interplay between PREM and FV isnt what it has been in the past? and that buy/sell programs are being manipulated rather than triggered as a result of PREM being above or below FV to a large extent? If so, I agree.. I think that today and other days too that those few that are holding onto the little black box are triggering programs to suit their purposes. I watch as PREM jumps to a point that I think would trigger somthing, and somtimes it does, other times it doesnt. That solidifies my position that we are all just observants of the game, nothing more, we can chart the hell out of the market, enter complex formulae, but we are nothing but pawns.. The players have an idea of market direction and only let us dip our toes into the pool. Like today, the dramatics of today was exaggerated IMO, China did not devalue today, and it did not even say it was going to, furthermore we have seen the HK and Japan dive and we havent done a thing in our markets. Somebody is stirring the pots for a reason.. On PREM, you are right about the final being 2.02, but I didnt understand what sttl meant, if that is the final price or what? And even if I dont post I always read.. always... Maybe it is my temper after a golf game that keeps me from interjecting... later...
