All the more reason to press. There's a big difference in bonuses between +5% S&P and -5% S&P.

Yeah, sometimes lately it seems like the market action is based on an attitude of "we'll defend those bids because we DESERVE a year-end bonus rally, by God!" This too shall pass and the market will do whatever the market will do regardless of what anyone says, including me. But I think we'd...

Yes indeed, it's been a serious move. Do you think the Oct 3rd high is any more or less significant than the Sept and July highs? I was thinking we might trade through the Oct high and stall at those previous highs. If it goes through July's highs it could really take off. And there's our...

lol! yep, we're not far away on that call...a short 60 points.

Nice rally today but it didn't go through any major resistance and the VIX is approaching its September and July lows.

well...the market pulled back a tiny bit, not enough to make any real money off of. Dow down 7 points since beginning of last hour.

Dow +105, sell now, book profits in 55 minutes. :)

Yeah, I hear ya there, but still....a major piece of good news could break the deadlock and send this market up strong. I'm thinking that a big news item (or one that's latched on to as allegedly big) will get the momentum going up or down bigtime. Because we've been locked into a very tight...

Hey, maybe we will trade up to and through 10,700 on Friday. What particular indicators make you think we will?

I'm inclined to agree. I don't know if GM will actually file for bankruptcy but I'm more inclined to be bearish than bullish on the economy and the market. Of course, using my sentiment as a contrary indicator, that probably means you should load up on stocks. :p But a lot of negative...

Five days unch'd on the major indices. The main reason I've heard that we should have a year-end rally is that, um, it's the year-end and, y'know, this would be the time to, y'know, have the year-end rally were supposed to have. I'm not cheerleading for either a rally or a selloff but...

Chagi - Those are nice, clean-looking charts you're posting. What charting software is that?

Maybe heavy buying in the oil sector with oil going over $60/barrel?

Ah, okay. Thanks Jorge.

lmao! excellent. :D

Actually, that was probably just a late print. It'll be way higher tomorrow.

:eek: Whoa! Tomorrow will be interesting! :D

How so?

Pixar reporting .22 cents per share with consensus estimate at .11 cents. Revenue $45.8 mil versus estsimate of $30.6 mil.

Betcha we trade lower the next couple of days. Of course, I've been as hot as an eskimo in January lately so don't worry about fading me. :D
