Really interesting data in the article. Just looking at it from
Highs-lows trend, the uptrend brokedown just like other major tops
just from a higher level.......

Agree, Volker has been sidelined since Summers pushed him
out a long time ago. I think it is really significant that he
was at Obama's right hand and on display. Also, I watch the
EURUSD cross like a hawk all day long. And it was very
different. Some body was not dredging up the money to
support the market. There was one blip to stop the free fall
in the SPX and then it went away again. I don't believe in
coincidences.......

I think the change of character in the markets is well described
in these 2 exhibits. You will see in the video of Obama's
speech yesterday that he rolled out Volker and put him on display
at his right hand. The Massachusetts election of a republican
has really put the fear of God into them. The game HAS
changed..... Volker!!

Its a numerology thing.... 11th trading day. 01/01 (don't
hate me) :) We will see how it works out.
And it fits the fib timing.... Whoooo Hooo finally some
volatility in TWO directions...... My systems are having a
ball....

No doubt, TS is a very sophisticated program. I really
like it. I wish TS technical would spend some time on
platform stability issues. It seem like every time the data
feed glitches, the platform chokes and needs a restart.
I am running a lot of strategies and a reboot is a real
pain..........

I totally agree. I have it installed on an intel quad
processor box with dual vid cards and all the hot
addons. I run nothing else on this serious box.
It still locks up on me at least once a day. When it is up it
is a very capable serious platform. But of course it just has
to bite it, sometimes more than one time / day..........
