The Fed will be making an announcement sometime this morning, I think.

“There are more factors in this than just the DJIA,” said Boomer, stating the obvious.

Default Second verse same as the first?

I wonder if we will see more of those corporate buybacks this week.

You are obviously very cognizant of the market. Isn't it common at years end and beginning to have more peaks and valleys?

What could have been driving the market yesterday?

A) Big Institutional Buys

B) Corporate Buybacks

C) Kenswing and me going shopping on Monday and early yesterday


Hint: Two of the above — or maybe one

Santa Rally is prior to Christmas.........anticipating the red suit.



I would say yesterday was a response to an over-sell.

This market is multi-faceted. I guess markets always are, but this one feels more so. I have been aware for decades and I cannot remember ever feeling like the picture was so big, with so many moving parts.

Please notice that I said "feels" because I am not an analyst.

(btw, a note to fw102807, I have been meaning to tell you that I love your avatar. I am going to look for a print of "The Scream" so I can buy one to hang in my office where I have fun things on the wall, and maybe a couple to give to friends who will relate.)

And, now, back to topic ---
