You super-rich types will never experience this, but the rest of us can open this month's credit card statement and figure it out immediately. Those who cannot pay theirs off now will be SCREWED!!!

After the kind of sell off they've been through, they should be bouncing the best, I don't think there is anything unusual about it, the problem is whether it will follow through for the IT, I doubt it...

Kisa, they've rolled me over from a fixed to a variable rate, currently running 61% higher. This is a global form letter. I've had this card for over 20 years. What I'm saying is that the terms and rates, without further notice, are here and they're draconian in scope. Cockroaches and banks will survive all decimations. If you must be long, be in banking.

Here's Thusday's snapshot. It was pinned on that support line all week long until Friday, when somebody picked it up and ran. That was a perfect target bounce.

Lot's of reasons for OEX to perform, but why are financials a reason?

Interesting...I was under the impression that financials were closer to 28% of oex.

I wasn't sure about it, that's why I checked. I thought it was at least a little higher too. http://www2.standard...sheet_sp100.pdf
