AMZN @ $1926 as I am writing this, if it loses 1925, look out! You're also going to see alarger than expected decline in the Q's, because of its weighting, then they might  throw the baby out with the bathwater. (JMHO)

Nibbled on FB, ad if we do get some forced selling on a break of 1925 AMZN, I'll get some more. (JMHO)

Conversely, if AMZN holds 1925, it should prompt some short covering and a quick pop.

Facebook alone wealthier than the the entire country India in market cap?

Maybe India should engage in the 'lie and manipulate' campaign more than FB did?

But FB will topple soon, while India still stands.

70 percent of the market's moves this year have occurred on the 11 days that the Bank of Japan has held its policy meeting.  Tomorrow is the 2nd day of the meeting.

Hmm...good to know. Thanks.  I assume the moves were up?

The previous year it was flat on those days.   There was essentially no debt issuance by the US treasury for almost all of 2017 because the debt ceiling was suspended.   2 trillion dollars in QE was far more than enough to absorb the supply. So the market may have been nervous about changes to QE.
