IQ, We have had a heck of a runup 520 points from the lows of Friday. Appears that we will retrace a bit on open with SPU down from 1027.50 to 1019 at this writing. Guess it will depend on how Germany is doing by the time we open. Hong Kong down 2.5% and Japan down 1.5% will not bode well for us at open. Nice call yesterday. Isn't it great when the market in a timely fashion does what we expect it to do. If it waits too long we will go broke waiting for the options to turn profitable. The bears will be after us today.

Ike; RE:" Japan cuts overnight rate from 0.5% to 0.25%... " ...will squeeze some (^_^) What a beautiful call you made on the market, Ike ! It is one thing to feel the waves and "trade 'em in the direction they wanna go, pardner !" as Nemer says - and it is another thing to be able to feel the extent of a move up or down: you nailed this one to the wall, mon ami - Your feeling for extent has been particularly keen recently. I accumulated ADR's last week and dumped them yesterday for a nice profit - the weak USD just boosted their pop all the more ;-) I was hoping that LatAm would follow the DOW and the Yen up so that I could initiate a short position trade, but it's just treading water. Here are the LatAm bolsa benchmarks, in USD basis ADR's : EWW - Mexico WEBS BZF - Brazil Fund AF - Argentina Fund CH - Chile Fund If you find yourself sitting around your console counting your money, I would appreciate your thoughts on the oft-overlooked LatAm region of our blue marble planet. merci -Steve
