    They want the dow up 9 straight weeks and will do anything possible to keep the up trend going into Friday afternoon......9 straight up weeks, there is literally no risk what so ever at this point, as long as Bubble ben bernanke is throwing trillions into the economy there is absolutely no need to worry. And the chances of him taking away any of these easy money policies in the next year or two is about ZERO percent.....Bubble ben bernanke knows how to keep asset bubbles growing and intact, Go Bubble ben, GO!!!!!

  3. I heard a rumour Waddell and Reed were covering their short which they've been holding since May 6th. Rumour has it they only got a 10 lot filled because of HFT frontrunning. So that makes it 74,990 contracts to go. :p

  4. I believe the reason for the initial "pop" in the Dow were some "bad" prints in IBM.

    Meanwhile, it appears that the President wants to lower the Corporate Tax rate.

    Looks like his new Chief of Staff Bill Daley is already rubbing off on him. :D
    Daley and Jeff Immelt.

  5. Obama declared: "This is our generation's Sputnik moment."

    can't wait until Republicans attempt to locate Obama's Russian birth certificate :)

    every 5-10 minutes the futures are pushing higher.....

    :eek:


    DOW 12k tomorrow

    DOW 13k by APRIL-MAY

    DOW 13500 by JULY

    DOW 14k by AUG

    DOW 15k by OCT

    DOW 16k by Thanksgiving

    DOW 17k by 2nd week of DECEMBER

    ADD in another santa clause rally for another 1000 dow points and the DOW could easily get to 18,000 by the end of 2011....

    I think these dow predictions are wayyyyyyyyyyyy to low......
