Would be real funny and cruel to the bulls if this goes below 1403 and closes under it.

Even funnier if 1393. :eek:

I really wouldnt say its "abnormal", its just that all the big players were short assuming terrible ISM numbers today and they didnt get them, so its a short covering rally. Usually these end as quick as they started.

There you go

Yeah, much easier to take the haircut with Monopoly money, right??

I'm just trying to get out breakeven, but the market is to determined not to let that happen. Amazed at how many straight up/no pullback days we've had this year.

It is crazy how this market seems to move in straight lines at times especially up. Makes one wonder who is pulling the strings. The close today was good to see that things are still somewhat rational if you can call it that.

Quote from gmst:

You are correct - no comparision between sim and real money. The way market rallied, it just wanted to screw most people in a very fast way. Guys who took the hard trade which was to go long ended up making a lot of money.

If they held which I guarantee most did not.

1500 within next month or 2?

I think not but what do I know. Market performance statistically from May through September is not known for rallies.
