Thanks for the info. It is only slightly overstating the point to say that the Russell is firming. Few things are more sure than the smaller caps furiously outperforming the large caps at the end of a bear market. Hard to imagine that we would be already at the end of a bear market, but this market did weaken starting about 4/17, and finally spread to the general averages on about 7/17. Things are very tricky now, I am hedged everyway I know how. Added to some long positions in psft, while taking positions in vtss and g on Friday. This is after shorting the big 4 Tuesday, and djx puts wed. How is that for taking a stand?!
