I'm in the UK....even after the massive wealth decimation we've seen on stock markets, it still seems very much business as usual here (as far as the man in the street is concerned) Sure people are a little more worried, but the shops are still full, people are still spending (retail figs...

When it all goes Pete Tong...I stop trading & watch some porn while eating a packet of cheesy wotsits. I stop watching once my bellend has an orange tint. Start trading again.

Funny you should mention the credit bubble bursting... http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aq35YzpEUzBE&refer=home May 9 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Officer Ken Lewis said a so-called credit bubble is about to break after six years of historically...

My dog sat down then dragged his ass along the grass this moring. The last time he did this, the Dow showed 0 points change for the day. Therefore this will be the position I will be taking tomorrow (& I'll buy him some worming tablets)

Perhaps but in my opinion the hiccup that so many expect, will come from the East (either currency of indice driven) ....looks to me that the US has siezed the opportunity that the japanese & chinese markets have been closed totally (or partially wrt Japan) all week long. So maybe a bit of...

Not surprising for bulls to get carried away...I reckon next week a little bit of sobriety will return. As is always the case when a big number is taken out (13k)...much hullaballoo, holds a while then fades (not to say it won't have another run up)...look at the $/£ ...it waited somethjing...

man those pending home sales sucked.

Yes, let's recap...the earnings we're seeing at the moment reflect past performance (lagging). Taken in isolation they're not sparkling....however when viewed against the severely lowered expectations they seem to rock. Conspiracy? (ie the market rages ahead because for the last quarter...

Hmm....just 8 weeks ago on Feb 27, the Dow fell 547 points (intraday) - why does an 800 point fall sound so outlandish now...if anything, the fundamentals have got worse since then! I'm all for a one day 800 point fall (or more) but not necessarliy tomorrow.

Nothing else matters?! It's earnings that drive the market...all we've seen in the past 2 weeks is earnings beat 'lowered' forecasts. Seems the market wants its cake & eat it. If I said I could run 100 yards in 80 seconds, you'd think "no way...you're a fat b@stard & can only do 100 yards in...

Either way, they're gonna get a large one up the ass.

I too have thought this for a while ....all these companies coming in at 'above expectations' actually means bo diddley (other than the people who 'set' the expectations were either very astute or rather inept). I subscribe to the theory that there are some big swinging dicks who set the tone...
