Two points I found interesting post close today. The guy from Dow Jones newsletter said that the window dressing tomorrow was likely to be more selling than buying (more cash in the positions ?) and someone else interviewed talked about this weekends elections in Brazil, which, if the current incumbent doesn't win, is likely to lead to a major market decline, due to likely devaluation of the currency within a week (with the obvious effect on other markets). I assume therefore that the pros will not be going into the weekend too long. Good luck all Stephen
