Vitus; That move in the bond market sort of distracted me, it was more than usual, but not as bad as I first thought..still it's not a good sign at all. I see some stuff that I don't know how to comment on, it's just pecular are they storm clouds or what ? I've been mostly negative about things since the 8th of Jan , in that respect she has fooled me. I'm not going to wish her down just to be right, but you bet I won't be going long on nothing until I see a "good" correction, OR a real reason tath I can understand of why she is not ready to blow..she looks like an active volcano to me that's just huffing and puffin, spitting out a few rocks then just sitting there saying I'm OK come a little closer.. ----------------------- The Dow has lost some liquid, and more today too, T and WMT are holding the head up some, if they blow we should get the correction, that false run in oils last week don't look good either. I half expected it, and called it false when it happened so I'm half right any way, I guess a collective effort on the part of the Fed and Japan could push it on up but I doubt we see that.
