Dr.Jeff; Thanx and spread it all over any place you wish with my blessings. I know ONE stock sounds a little extreme, and it is a "little" extreme, but it says what I want to say about the commingling nature of the present day market in a way that's hard to miss. <G> Stocks do not stand or fall on the merits of the companies, as so many have been taught. They now depend on big arbitrage derivative trading programs that are based around the market cap size of a few stocks, which in turn doesn't just set some tone for the market. It "forces" huge swings. It's not realistic to think investors or even day traders are are buying and selling this market all at the same time as if they were a school of fish. Jim
