Probably worth noting that we are also coming into tax loss selling season between now and mid-December.
You guys are probably aware that a large chunk of the recent rally in the indexes was driven by a narrow set of big cap stocks.
There is a large cohort of stocks (not to mention other things... gold, etc.) that might get the heave ho for tax reasons.
We could get an interesting low in December for a Santa rally.
And if Santa fails to call...
Thanks boss, that make a lot of sense. either way,the market will get wild for all the squeeze and dump

Things are getting similar to last crash, where QQQ leads the way down, but IWM hold relatively.

I was thinking Unique signing off for the week represented a loss of confidence in his bearish view, so perhaps bounce. We hit one more lower low but its trying to bounce.

They need to find the problem with the HFT servers. Supposed to have two more green runs up like that last one. If they can't get to three push up Cobra may have to eat lunch early
Pasta Boss, can't think that a lousey 1/4 point is going to sink real estate. I think that Sam Zell selling all his apartment buildings like he did at the last real estate top is a giant flashing red sign.
