    But beware the end result of burgeoning moral hazard......

    Everyone just KNOWS that the WGOFM's (aka PPT) will not counteneance a serious market downturn now don't they?? - until such may be condusive to the interests of the powers that be that is

    These guys have real power and all the $$$'s needed to fulfil their mission (courtesy of the reserve currency printing presses). So what the hell's the point of fighting them - Like trying to fart against thunder I'd say. It's the new paradigm

    Looks like the Christmas rally early in tek stocks,SPX,SPY;
    however long term trend is still down in big media,
    medium term trend is still down in big media,
    many of them still have the same bias & losing market share.

    Exspect further downside there , perhaps later.:cool:

    Am starting to agree with you..
    I try and trade both sides of the market daily but have found that more oftern than normal stocks become unshortable during rallies or market moves and it continues for days.

    I believe it is as a result of the brokers having to hold the stock which is contrary to their believe of the stock(s) direction.
