"Demand for a new mortgage for a home purchase fell again yesterday. Aside from mid-February, you would have to go all the way back to 1995 to see lower mortgage demand (where the US population is 70 million lower than it is today)."

Oh no the bullishness is still here lol!! Market is getting pretty oversold though and we are moving into expiration with put prices soaring so there may be chance of some kind of rally as long as bonds cooperate. Added a little to my long bringing my average to 4430, should be another fun day, thank goodness futures aren't soaring....

And there we go, a little more pop and profit stopping at 4431, we'll see about buying back before the cash open though....
