i also noticed it as my faz was diving for no accountable reason. until i saw the bloomberg article how GS made a trading record of 46 days over $100 million gains.maybe they are busy pumping the slow gainers today for a few more millions, as others go broke from their games. as noted by others the whole market has been acting very strange as someones are not letting nature take it course.

I will be a seller of the banks as soon as they poke their head above 43.80, that will complete a very sloppy abc correction from the move down.

GS bumping up against long term MAs. Please note that these Moving Averages are custom and just provide a good roadmap. The monthly chart sure is interesting. BAC and the rest of the group seem to have some catching up to do. 

I was thinking the same thing.  The banks and real estate are remaining pretty strong while the SPX is down 8 1/2 points. 

Maybe it means we have more upside before a larger more meaningful correction?
