zarif, I've just gone to the site Asher posted. The stats are no longer available except by email. If you want them you have to sign up. It's free.

Me, sober up? What are you suggesting? That I drink excessively?
Actually, today is first alcohol free day in about a week.

I'm going to leave it now till about 8 o'clock to see how things look then.(i'm talking about the Dow, not alcohol!).

tks sb.
No i was jesting as we all are having a good long run on dow and have injested plenty of liquid shorts - me i am on it with the whipsaws of the dow (the shorts i mean -hic !!!)

closed my Jan long for 10505 - 77 points.
That's it till next week I think.

I have a strange feeling of dejavu. I thought I'd posted this once but can't find the post.

Looks like we are in for a correction folks.

There again, maybe we aren't.
Should be an interesting week ahead.
Good nite.

Afternoon everybody:
Just got in to see that the dow is moving in positive territory today being the first main day of full week.The dollar is getting a pasting everywhere and gold is rising. What are your views for today. I reckon it will head north today and late in the day will start trekking south.It looks like its at a precipice and could fall heavily if it does-so trade wisely and keep tight stps.Go with the flow.

Afternoon zarif.
Just recovered from a graphics card failure.
I think your scenario is likely.
I'll pop in nearer the close to see what the market is doing.

The number of people I know that have large shorts, presume they were doing well earlier, but now :-(

Lw -regarding shorts or longs- I always say to everyone to put a minimal amount on first as a tester and then put with a normal stake and add to it as a "pyramid" that way is safer (says he).

I know what you mean. I started with 1 contract, now I'm up to 4, and so tempted to add. I think I'm going to have a snack, and then come back in see................

Looks like the dow is going to make a run for it!

lw; just closed the long at 10529. i think u r right about the rocket up -it has been doing that lately but since the long was on the daily one i decided to take the cash and amm watching to see if any opps come up.

Good for you.

This is the third day it has traded in this range. I wonder how long it will continue.
Isn't a rise in volatility (as now) a warning of a 'correction'?
Still flat at the moment.

Long at 10516 (Jan future).

Had a small short overnight which I closed and turned into an even smaller long earlier at 10511.

The next 30 min will be interesting.

Momentum jockeys are riding their favorites to new highs while this bear remains sidelined. Indices may top out today and begin correction.

Today's Stock Market View
Trader's Note: Stocks bulled higher once again yesterday, as the jaw-dropping momentum game continues. There are many bullish technical formations out there, but the fundamentals and sentiment levels are spiraling out of control at this point, and the common-sense side of my trading psyche simply won't allow me to press the buy button at these levels. I will remain sidelined until a real downtick begins to test the markets' mettle. That downtick - or at least signs of sluggishness - may materialize as soon as today.

Economic Items This Week:

Today - 15:00 GMT - US Dec. ISM Services, Nov. Factory Orders
Thursday - US Weekly Jobless Claims, Wholesale Inventories, Consumer Credit
Friday - US Dec. Change in Nonfarm Payrolls, Dec. Unemployment Rate
Today's ISM Services number 30 minutes after the opening is the main economic event for today. Can the level of upside surprise match last Friday's manufacturing number? There are no major earnings reports today. Yesterday's solid report from Walgreens was met with solid buying - though it had sold off heavily just before the report. Walgreens is hardly representative of the broader market.
