Vertigo - Thx for the wealth of information. I've never missed a news headline before (to my recollection). I thought using two links were enough but now I have a lot more free links thanks to you and tomahawk. I'm on the west coast so I do miss some of the morning chatter before the markets open.

I don't trade the news so much, I just wouldn't have put in a trailing stop if I realized news was coming out.

I'll tell you what, jagmont, if I am at my trading desk, I will post the headlines 5 minutes ahead of scheduled release.

any1 else here besides me think this market will explode higher the next couple of days?

Im thinking 1500+ by friday 4PM

1500 isn't that much of an explosion considering we touched 1499.25 yesterday.

I am wary of today being a mirror of yesterday, which would entail a rally starting at 3:35pm. (or not

)

sounds like you`re asking for reassurance rather than confirmation.

yesterday from 1468.50 to 1499.25, then 10.75 back down to 1488.50

Today, 1488.75 down to 1468.25, a 10.75 point bounce would take us to.......

1479.

(I was reluctant to post this earlier because it seemed so, so... stupid)

There was a floor trader on cnbc this morning saying he sees Dow 12,000 by the 17th. I forgot his name; he's one of the regulars though.

78.50 proves to be line in the sand....

68.50 to 78.50 on a rule of 10 was a viable sell w/ stop just above.

nice ebb & flow on the 10 rule(x 2 & 3) as well just about everywhere.

out of longs between 76/78 from 68/70 zone...scaled both ways & rolling the ranges without having to be perfect.
