You're just trying to make me feel good again. <g>

If I thought we weren't going to encounter further weakness, I would have sold the puts today. Here take a look at this:

Well through the 200 dma, just like the transports. I think there's more to come. This is just an early indication of where they are headed.

Banks: I heard it suggested that they have been caught
holding fixed-rate mortgages (that are being refinanced).
Besides the rampant speculation and over-paying for
acquisition targets and the likelyhood that executive greed
will sack the assets, to say nothing of the possible currency shenanigans brewing and sweetheart loan deals,
is this (fixed-rate mortgages) a significant feature of the downturn in sentiment towards the financials?
