    I was referring to the two previous cash sessions. Ym failed at high and es retraced 60% and failed at low of 15 min reversal bar and Thursday's open. 24-26 brings us right back into fed day range and 50% retrace, of course expect a reaction.

    Series 7?

    First, I doubt you have friends in these places if you don't understand. 15 year ago a prop trader was truly that. Now it is just a fee generator. Just like hedge funds used to be "hedge funds!!!!" Steve is still one of the good guys.

    With input costs up at least 10% for retailers, back it out of the number. The market will lag this factor. Figure 3-4% passed on and that still leaves your in a big hole even with productivity gains.
