Voltaire, S+P Futures were as low as -10, now as high as +9.

The Markets are going to be wild today. In addition, its options expiration and tax payment day.

To Voltaire and the Dell Thread

My brother and I were just talking about CNBC and that schizophrenic falling sky.

Anyway, we need an alternative so here's our idea.

The posters on Silicon Investor should offer their own marketmakerwatch.com or something to fund a new TV gizmo that can translate what the anchors and guests are really saying. Kind of like the bouncing ball that lets people sing along. When they are talking about Brazil, for example, right above the Dow ticker...a new ticker tape would also run on the screen saying what's really going on. Think about it, market makers could cease to be a crowd and develop their individual personalities just like stocks... fund managers who wish theirs was a net fund could get their curses across without a breach in etiquette...the possibilities are enticing. It would not only be entertaining, but enlightening as well. The battlefield would be transformed.
