Krazykarl, I can see that you are a newbie. Oil going down will not help the broad mkt, only the transports, and they were in the red. Additionally, when the fed stops or pauses, the mkt tends to sell off. Maybe we are discounting that right now, but I tend to doubt that. The mkt has changed since early May, We had a nice cyclical bull mkt for 3 1/2 years, inside of a secular bear mkt, you take what you can get. I'm not saying we are going to crash from here, but I will say we will not make new highs for quite awhile. The mkt is searching for a new lower end of the trading range, by sept/oct we will find out where it is. We could certainly bounce from here, but I will sell all u want at 1284-1290 spoo.. My opinion only of course. Oh and you #3 not sure what you mean
