    What am I missing here....every world market is melting down and ZB is trading @ 2 ticks above the 5PM Globex close?

    Oil , -$4 and commodities catalyst?

    you are missing one major factor - and that is that markets do not behave logically anymore.

  7. El Surdo, my boy! Another thing is that the Credit worthyness of the US in tanking (not like Iceland, ha!) it was in the teens recently and has pushed out from 30-40 Basis points that is crazy that is Uncle sam what we trade total panic if you can't trust US paper!
    Also a lot of supply from every sort of imaginable auction out there that Paulson is doing at some point supply begats demand brother.

  10. But now, 1.5 after WS opening, with early closing and long weekend, I don't think that many will keep short positions..
