    Winners and Losers

    I do not see how the U.S. can accomplish its stated objectives, and keep our casualties at an acceptable level. In that sense, we may have already lost the war. No wonder Rumsfield is backpedaling: --- <b>ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says American...

    "We went to a hospital and a doctor started to shoot at us," said Khalid Al Anzi, 34, a Kuwaiti working as an interpreter for the Marines. "The Marines don't shoot back, they talk and they call the other people to come out." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39022-2003Mar27.html...

    Is This The Top (For Now)

    Except that the war rally has been well discounted. I suspect this is a garden-variety 10% wonder. For this rally to have legs, the market must be able to shrug off the ORCL blowout tomorrow.

    Any advice for a beginner short-term trader?

    To begin with, forget about earning "side money". Instead, concentrate on not losing a lot of money on a single trade. With $2000 you can open a margin account with Interactive Brokers and swing-trade 100 shares of QQQ or a big-cap tech stock. Don't use leverage unless you absolutely must.

    Why rumours pops up when market opens or during market hour?

    For the same reason rumors surface at key support points: the market bounces off support and talking heads scramble to offer a "rational" explanation of the bounce.
