It is hard to say where it is going but my theory is that alot of money is just gone from this last cycle. Some is chasing the oil and metals markets, some is in the far east chasing those markets.<br /><br />If we do happen to get a big move in that type of thing our stock market here could explode higher. I know everyone wants to say we should go way down due to alot of underlying problems which we all know are there. However, as we have seen markets can remain irrational longer than we can remain solvent fighting the moves.<br /><br />My post today will talk about thisChris Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542415946929766288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27784316.post-32582575417754135682010-04-08T21:23:52.419-07:002010-04-08T21:23:52.419-07:00Excellent point about volume not increasing.

Then go look at the late day saves and what those readings are when they start. These programs are not occuring at the times these numbers are in the zones.

They do not have enough clout to stop a high volume decline, but the light ones they can stop with a phone call. That is what happening during the crash, heavy volume came in and they do not have enough buying power to fight off that type of volume.Chris Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542415946929766288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27784316.post-71859371084073672352010-04-08T07:55:25.361-07:002010-04-08T07:55:25.361-07:00"...I cannot explain is how they are managing..."...I cannot explain is how they are managing to keep large funds from large scale sell programs..."<br /><br />Incriminating photos?<br /><br />The great unwind is beginning, Chris: L.A. threatening to close government offices two days per week, Bank of America about to ramp up foreclosure proceedings, long-term interest rates moving up, etc.<br /><br />The PPT, Fed, and Treasury only have two hands and ten fingers, and the dam is springing new leaks every day.<br /><br />I saw what I believe were their fingerprints in the market over '07 and '08.
