NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. stocks extended their losses Wednesday morning as an unsubstantiated rumor of an explosion in the New York area swept through trading rooms, a trader said.



CBS MARKETWATCH TOP NEWS
U.S stocks lower on NYC blast rumor


"There's been some bogus rumors that there has been some kind of explosion in New York City," said Keith Keenan, vice-president of institutional trading at Wall Street Access. "It's absolutely false. A major news network is going to pick up this story before a trading desk will if there is any kind of truth to it."

"The markets sold off on that rumor. People are looking for an excuse to take profits," Keenan added.

Copied from the Tb: Tom Hougard (city index chap) Interesting reading:---


Tom H was on Bloomberg at 10.30... Potted Summary...
Target for Mon/Tue next week Dow 10800 Nas 2120 FTSE 4660
Catalyst.. US Jobs report tomorrow /Favourable int decision today.

Then Target for end Feb Dow 10100ish Nas 1540 FTSE between 4136/4330
Key for pullback to stay within Long term uptrend.

Target for June July Dow 11700-800 taking out all time highs possibly.
Catalyst... Presidential Cycle, thinks Bush is going to throw as much liquidity at markets to keep feel good factor for elections...

Now heres the sting....
December Dow below 10000!!!!!!
Expects bearish Autumn affter Pres Cycle effects out of the way.
THIS ASSUMES UPTREND NOT BROKEN INTO JUNE JULY TIME PERIOD.

Interesting prediction, zarif.
I can't wait to see how right it is.


Bit boring today. My long is barely breaking even, although I missed a chance earlier when I was out.
