More market manipulation, another bullet aimed straight at the temples of the shorts. Wow, they are going for bear hides today!

The PPT can't be happy with the reaction to Bernanke's comments, a giant pump and dump. What's gonna be the solution, another buy program into the close? Unlimited ammo to buy futures for the PPT, of course, but just wondering, when do they actually sell their futures? Just curious.

Red right and we've just created a whole slew of pump and dump bagholders. Great job Ben, you try to take out the shorts with your surprise dove announcement and instead create a bunch of long bagholders hoping, praying for a sucker's rally to bail out their sorry asses.

The Fed and their short squeezing efforts. Its sickening to see them try to muscle up the market with surprise announcements to try to nail the shorts intraday. Greenspan did it a number of times and was the most blatant market manipulator of our times.

The market was set up for a sell the news reaction to Bernanke's mumblings. The market wanted an intermeeting rate cut, they just got dove talk, and are clearly not happy with just that. But I expect Ben to send a sucker punch to the shorts with an intermeeting cut if we happen to take out...

Dumb money took the bait, now the smart money is set up short going into the last 2 hours. We're going to close below 1400 cash on the S&P.

Huh? The Fed funds rate in September was at 5.25%. Now its at 4.25%. What part of lowering rates do you not understand?

Not gonna rally much from these levels, the Fed rate cut rally occured yesterday in the final hour of trading. Today's rally is for suckers late to the party. We are going down from here.

You don't need the Fed. They have no backbone, they yield to Wall Street everytime, at least since Greenspan came to the throne. Everyone is looking for a rally to sell off their holdings because rate cuts aren't going to save us here. Only an idiot would believe so.

100 bps over 3 Fed meetings is not slow. And with rates at 4.25% and falling, soon the US rates will be lower than Europe's, and with a much weaker currency. Anybody have an incentive to buy US Treasuries with that kind of deal?

Your dollars are essentially worthless! Welcome to the biggest experiment in hyperinflation that will ever be conducted. Inflation fighter my nuts.

Ben comes out and screams that he will cut rates aggressively and all we get is only 7 points on the S&P that sticks. What a weak market. We will be testing day's lows by the close IMO.

They are clones. They believe in supporting the market with massive rate cuts and give a rat's ass about inflation. buy gold, oil, any commodity. The commodity boom is in full force.

Bernanke is friggin dove! Of course he's gonna cave in. He's gonna cut a bunch before this month is through and the market is gonna linger at levels that it shouldn't be and then crash when rates are at 0%.

It all depends if you like to watch the market all day and have natural intution for market movements. Some people have it and some people don't. I don't recommend daytrading for most people. Longer term trading is less stressful and have the potential for much bigger profits with less...

I agree with your thinking, but I am wondering who the suckers are that want to buy after the market has run up 2-3%. I know for every buyer there has to be a seller but I don't know how strong the oversold bounce will be when there aren't too many takers as we go higher. The bulls only weapon...

I think the worst strategy in a bear market is to go long at the open. I think we're in a bear market. At the same time, shorting at the close is not a recommended strategy either. I think you have to short rallies here. But the market is so weak right now, the rallies don't even last...

All those tools who bought the close yesterday in hopes of a rate cut this morning are getting sheared. The market goes out of its way to punish idiots who believe in dumb rumors. Now Goldman comes out with its sell rating of the brokers which means they were dumping their stocks like mad...

I would short that other stuff too. I would short them all. This is a terrible market to be long in. It will be like this all year till the 2008 elections are over with.

Its when the market reaches a support level 3 times over a course of a period of time without meaningfully penetrating those levels and then goes up in a strong rally never looking back.
