Far from scientific I admit, but when I was scanning through the
sector indexes, I noticed that with only one exception, if an index
bounced in October, it got hammered today, if the sector index waited
to beginit's recovery in March, it was up today. It was kind of
funny as I scrolled down and saw the charts lining up with October
bouncers all red and March bouncers all black.

Not too bad looking consideing the ending sell off and note the
almost triple upside volume on the BB stocks I mentioned earlier.
When I wrote you earlier, the NASDAQ sold off 20 points in the time
it took me to type 3 words and I watched a stock I briefly was
considering buying drop 5 points in under a minute. Will the floor
hold or will this continue tomorrow. Probably depends on AMZN's
numbers. If ti bounces tomorrow, this may have been a ploy to get
cheap share. Then again, I am noticing that some of the previously
fast runners are starting to form H&S patterns again.

Bearshark, i'm in ROFL mode(almost). CNBC just reported that amzn missed revenue expectations,which they suppose were $300 million. nonsense! even the most optimistic broker's were expecting no more than $264 million. lots of 100 - 500 share lots are sold over instinet some $5 to $8 below the closing price...wonder how this will play out tomorrow.
..oops, just got the info that $300 mio. was actually the 'whisper number'. disregard everything said above...so likely there will be more selling pressure tomorrow.

regards,

hb

bearshark,

the scary part about the DOW wild swings is the thought of who is responsible? I don't think day traders, in the aggregate, have enough money to be swinging these huge caps. Are we seeing fund managers playing video games with their pools of OPM? Are they desparately trying to chase after the hottest stuff because their portfolio is having a tough time keeping up with the S&Ps? Can the market handle a huge reduction of paper wealth if the internuts withdraw? What will happen if we have a month or two of net mutual fund outflow, something we have not head in a few years that I know of?
