Mike Holland on bloomberg radio this afternoon said to thank bernanke (BUBBLE ben bernanke) for the last 2000 point rally in the DOW since August 2010.
"There are very few other times in U.S. stock market history during which the Dow has risen so far in so short a time. Since the Great Depression, in fact, there has been only one other occasion when the Dow â in an interval of 23 months â performed better than it has since the March 2009 low. That was during 1986 and 1987, the period leading up to the August 1987 stock market high. That is a parallel that older investors will very well want to forget, of course. Within two months of Wall Streetâs August 1987 peak, the stock market suffered its worst crash in U.S. history â with the Dow losing nearly 23% in a single session.

QQQQ at 57.17. At this price and higher, if I were a buyer, I would be worried. Is a 10% retreat reasonable? (While typing, QQQQ went to 57.22, and then suddenly fell to 57.10).
57.03 already. you are quick! p.s. we have not had 10% correction in a long while (since Aug?). basically, 10% is Nov lows. it may happen.
