Hi everyone, they ran the SPX futures up 6 points and the NDX futures up 9 points from the start of futures trading. IMHO, they're setting up the markets for the next sharp drop as early as Monday and/or on Tuesday and Wednesday. They are in a rush to dump out, i.e., distribute, the stock-index futures' contracts that they took into their day-to-day trading ST inventory on Friday's decline at the close of Friday's trading and then they will sell stock-index futures short prior to the next decline in order to profit from that decline when they cover their short sales. Cheers, :) Bob-C

I think Monday will close up, then most likely decline at the middle of the week, flat friday. I would look to see if the gap up will be sold in the first hour to close the gap and trade long for the day and then perhaps sell short the close. If it rallies into the close, it should gap down for Tuesday at the opening, then we see...

I would think a simple test of the 200 day would be a very good bet.
If it can be cornered, it will.

We will be UP tomorrow and Tuesday, possibly into Wednesday morning, before turning DOWN in earnest and a big plunge lasting a coouple of weeks. I agree with Hank's date in late Aug. for a LOW. A low to buy and hold!
