Platter-The OSX dropped 8 pts in 4 days in mid Dec. The current low is 45.53. 8 pts off today's close would be 42.55, which is close to the upper band of my target (41.75). We could do that fairly easily with bad eps news from the majors. Oil for eg could backtrack say 75c-1.00 starting tomorrow at the same time as poor eps are digested. I did NOT say 38.50 was my target. Anywhere in the low 40's plus SLB printing 40 could do. I do agree with others here that it won't last. Where i differ is that I think it will likely take place.
