Tom ; If what you read is correct, then the rest makes sense, but let me caution you not all we read is even close to correct, if they don't give specific details you can check out I'd have some reservations, there is just so much in the so called news that is put there to hopefully enhance the writers position, and it can be hard to separate the truth from the hype. In my looking at the funds I track, ( and mind you that's a very small amount of the overall ) but I do not find them short of cash, or in any bind towards redemption's, it looks to me they have anticipated them and have raised cash levels. Also I don't see them margined at all right now. I think maybe the offshore hedge funds might have some of this kind of problem, but I can't get any information on them that I can count on. Jim

Tom; Let me ask you about, re> don't the funds HAVE to sell between now and the end of October? And won't that start the waterfall of fund manager liquidations as they race each other out like Oct 27? perhaps OCT27 is meaningful to you in a way I don't understand, what happens at the end of OCT that would cause a sell off at that time other than at any other ? ------------------- At any rate I still see some down side the most likely trend, but just miss the meaning of the last of OCT.
