congrats on getting quoted, very cool.
I might as well just admit to myself that I'll never get it. The market expects a one point cut, only gets 3/4, but blows the doors off anyway. I don't get it, I really don't.
I'll never get it
or this one has confounded you?
This is exactly why i talk about avoiding big bets. Obviously I lagged big time today but had a nice pop nonetheless.
I don't think you need to worry about getting one day wrong but your comment reveals some good introspection.
Roger has mentioned several times that this is a normal bear market, which I believe it is. However, normal bear markets don't go straight down. Yesterday all the stars came into alignment. I posted this chart this morning:

The rubberband was simply stretched too far - for now. I wouldn't be too surprised to see more gains over the coming weeks before we begin a new decent.
Good comment (and chart) TomK. As the pent-up bullish sentiment unleashed by the Fed's accommodation of Wall Street leads to second thoughts (and buyer's remorse) I suspect the next down-leg will come sooner rather than later but it has been a stimulating week thus far regardless.
Short cover raley!
Bargain hunting managers, short covering and speculators are all giving us a typical bear market rally, over in 2 and a half days, just when the average punters decide to buy in. They'll then call the market 'corrupt' and 'manipulated' when the bear market continues it's slide downwards. I know I've done that myself.
