Not worried about financials..but, I'm buying puttys against all my long stocks. If big down Friday I'll position for a crash. I think its the Isreali news today that's knocking us down.

NDX holds 1806 low...I'll only be bearish if we close under 1800.


Are you referring to this Israeli "news"?

Israel Presents New Data to Change US View on Iran Nuclear Capability

Could this guy possibly be SHORT?

This 5 min volume spike low sets the range here... 44.40 - 91.... roughly.

yep: i saw/heard that. now bob pisonu is blaming the troubles on the stock analysts, lol. he is jealous of the idiot cramer and his rants and needed one of his own. he just figured out that analysts are paid by investment banks and/or other invested interests and might not want to tell all the bad news ! WOW ! pisonu has gotten holt to some of them smart pills.

mogreen/semi might be on to something there. they are surely trying very hard to drag us into another war, it is in their interest. i suppose we will see that picked up around the nation, over the weekend, with the sympathizing columnists. and, yes, i do think that could be very market related. there will be lots of anxiety in our country about pressure to do that before the change in administration. well, i think i will go take a nap before i get into trouble. ;)

You can see it's a pullback on lighter volume here on the 5...

I don't want to start up a political discussion and hijack Semi's thread here, but I think it will take a nuclear blast this time to convince people to go to another war before the invasion of the Iraq clearly completes with a success. Even the people who supported initially do not believe in these preemptive wars anymore...

Getting back to the technical track now... Almost looks to me like this is pretty well engineered here.... there's no panic to the exit. Almost a "gentlemen's agreement" for higher prices...

The Vix is 22.92 DOWN .04 No fear...that's very troubling to me. For God sakes stop thinking that everything is a conspiracy!! Israel wants to attack Iran and elimenate this threat...The same way they took out Iraq's in 1982. Market is getting weaker here with small rallies. WATCH the last hour just like yesterday...anything can happen. I bought on the close yesterday and bought puts 3 to 1 today...so if we continue lower i'll be very short!
