REVENGE OF THE BUBBLE MEISTER

Greenspan's skillfully timed short rate cut (just as short positions have to be unwound)
and fully coordinated action by the Plunge Protection Team fried shorts today. I tried to
close out as many November puts as I could before the bell. October puts are history
killed by the ruthless Grand Bubble Meister..

I guess in a time like these the best one can do is to survive and regroup. For now, the
game over.

Need I remind the exuberant bulls that after the last rate cut was announced, the Dow dropped 500 points in the following two days. Both rate cuts have been figured in now.

The DJI chart with B-bands appears just like a perfect short sale candidate should...

I'm short MU and holding.

LG,

Agreed. I'll be patient and let the spin doctors on TV do their thing. If the markets aren't lower tomorrow, I'd be amazed.
