Fed Chairman Ben B affirmed today that rates are going to be kept low.

try a "system restore"

Banks are weak, but Contrarian to all technical sentiment, I scaled into a few banks based on their being at the bottom of their uptrending channels that started in March and more recently from Nov 3.  I plan on adding more at the uptrend support and will exit on a break of either side of the long term channel.

...so the specialist on the floor saw your stop order way down there, reached in an plucked it for himself.  It works that way on these thinly traded stocks.

The lack of threaded posts is a serious loss of functionality.

I agree, I have been completley paralyzed by the words "PULLBACK" and "OVERBOUGHT" since about March 15, 300 S&P points ago.

Doesn't that look like a very bullish RSI and postitive divergence in the MACD since Oct 2008?

Does anyone else have intermittant problems with losing the top control bar & the audio "PAUSE" button in Matt and Steve's nightly reports when paging down through the charts?  I like to pause the audio often to view a chart but often lose my place when the bug occurs.

Its a day to day thing, and I can't tell if its reports from Steve or Matt in their report preparation or a bug in my browser.   Steve's 7/13 update works fine but Matt's 7/12 newsletter did not.

Any more thoughts on ZSL - the Ultra Silver ETF?

There has been some churn with JAVA lately, maybe that is the problem.

For Windows, they released update 13 a week or two ago and immediately followed it up with update 14.  It infuriates me that Sun Micro does such beta testing of these updates on the planet! 

Was there a 4/26 Commodity Newsletter published by Matt?  I can't find one..., or having technical/network difficulties

OPEN OFFICE IS OUTSTANDING.  Lets hope that Oracle buying SUN doesn't ruin it.

Matt/Steve can you please shed some color around the bear wedge comments for SPY, QQQQ, SPX & and bull comments for SDS vs the inverse Head and Shoulders comment for the Financials - BKX and XLF???

The VOLUME has really trailed off over the day, so what can that mean?  Can it be a slide into the close to continue the downward channel from last Thursday?

I have been drawing support and resistance lines all day around FAS & FAZ with an  eye towards a refilling of the gaps.  I assume that could or will  happen in a market pull back but it does bet against the trend.

Ditto on holding the shorts, I sold all my longs last week in anticipation of THE pullback, ending up with the same results.

Meanwhile, I paid the rent with a few scalps in today's 1minute channels of FAS & FAZ.   Thanks everyone for what you teach me, including the hard lessons.
