They are both one in the same. War = $

"Nasdaq 100 looking weaker than the rest of the market once again. Common theme the last week."

SMH currently down -1.5%

that comes w the assumption that their intent is to engage and not to just provoke.

3 push down, bears are unable to push down.

Presumably some big boys are trying to push the market down, if they don't succeed today they'll try again next week...

Is there any chance the market can give back all its gains for the week (about .58% at the moment) and create a nice weekly doji?

Germany has been training Russian Uke insurgents, there can be no engagement there during the lame duck session. Syria is on a different burner though and if Migs start popping off at our f-16's and drones, the Hormuz will shut down, imo. Thus low crude might be a preamble.

Cool. You take the former Soviet Union over NATO, of which the United States of America is a member. It's your prerogative to take the Russians over your home your home country. But could you keep it off this board? I'm trying to work.

Thanks very much!

I take nothing except your insults and it is weary. Use the ignore function.

Looks as though Putin is helping the bears, apparently some tanks rolling into the Ukraine.

Several articles by "experts" explaining that ECB bond buying is in a too small market to have any effect. Also the Germans are really not for it, so all we get is talk. We saw yesterday talk is now good for a 90 minute round trip in the market. The era of the central bank will come to a close, maybe now is the time.

Watch List:
Game changer for Ford?
Higher lows are bullish; a breakout would be even better
“In December, Ford [F] will roll out an aluminum-bodied version of its F-150 pickup truck—its most popular model, accounting for 50% of the company’s earnings in North America. Being 15% lighter than its steel predecessor, the new F-150 is reckoned to be up to 20% more fuel efficient and able to haul 11% heavier loads. Such performance figures ought to make it a bigger seller than ever.”
