Whatever it is, they are 8 points off the AH high already, and I like it :)

10 points in 10 minutes. At this rate, I'll be super rich by morning :)
Seriously.. what did I miss ?

Trying to scare someone? Or saw my note that small investors will not buy this level?

EBAY comment on consumer spending during cc?

DOW COT shows very low open interest and SPX COT shows high commercial hedge long.

The markets are running up on short squeeze to sell off when it is done.

Market is waiting for small investors, but small investors will not buy the market at this level because they learned 2000 crash lesson. Also, they are now better informed, I think, so they would think that it is foolish to buy the market at this level. Small investors are not in and will not come in, it looks like.

Thanks for letting me know.


I commented that we could have new form of Scaring Publish called "Green Attack" which is jacking up financial market to huge bubbles; then, burst it to create public panic.

This "Green Attack" will have lasting, longer effect.

$USD is already showing it as it is performing like wet noodle.

Futures moving back up (about 4 pts down) -- underground electrical transformer blows up at 42nd and Lex -- It was a VERY big explosion at a major underground electrical station in midtown -- they are saying it is NOT terror related.
