Actually, the sky is falling in half the US... (snow storms) I'm in one right now, and I'm surprised nobody on this thread mentioned the weather factor that everyone is worried about for retailers and the like... CNBC wouldn't shut up about it during OTM... That and the terror/jihad crap... I'm personally going to lay off the first five or ten minutes of the open, then I'll be waiting for the panic stricken stupid money holders (A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place) to start bailing out of positions... If we do see any significant drops (which I suspect we might) I'll be selling right along with the rest of the herd... Only difference is I'll be covering later, and they'll be kicking themselves... <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-TUt5n3sU14"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-TUt5n3sU14" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Kerkorian dumping all of his GM stock, NYSE's problems with order routing, NYSE volume mystery, terror threats against stock market platforms, British Airways (BAB) contamination problems, Wal-Mart reports a sales decline for the first time in 10 years, winter storms talk and the effect bad weather could have on retail, Dow's been on a 1999-style coke binge for the last few months, buy recommendations popping up all over the place for tech stocks... ...And I've been accused of being an über-Bull before... ...Who the hell's worried and why should they be...?
