    U know Spaf.....that Tally Can sure reveals what happened to the leaders of the last 12 months. Compare them to the leaders of the last 3 and there are vast differences.....it only shows how far down they are to most recent leaders....nothing more.....

    personally, I think we're on Thunder(5) Mountain myself..... Congrats to Thunder5 for his achievement of late.

    In most comparisons, the short term will almost always produce higher results for a few... the longer term will more likely demonstrate skill over luck.

    I sort of use it as one of several indicators i.e., if 70% are sitting in safe funds and I'm pulling up my socks, maybe it's time I got my foot out of the water!............

    TOKYO (Kyodo)--Japan's economy grew an annualized real 5.5 percent in the October-December period from the previous quarter, revised upward from a 4.8 percent expansion in a preliminary report, the government said Monday.

    The link is a subscription, but that seems like a awful big revision.

    They're beating the heck out of the Germans with their low yen rates. Might as well throw in the Frogs and the Italians, too. They don't want to see the yen rise for the same reasons we don't necessarily want to see the dollar rise - finally starting to make progress on the trade deficit.

    Is Friday the 16th a quadruple witching day? If it is what will it mean for the market?

    Briefing.com:
    08:06 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +0.7. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.0. The market was poised earlier to start the day on an upbeat note, but the bullish bias has been fading, and now, the broader market is slated to begin the session on a relatively flat note. There hasn't been any specific news catalyst to blame for the reversal. On the contrary, today's news has been generally supportive as there has been a batch of M&A activity, highlighted by Schering-Plough's (SGP) $14.4 billion cash offer for Akzo Nobel's drug unit, and oil prices are trading below $60.

    Briefing.com:
    08:37 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -3.6. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -7.2. The bullish sentiment seen earlier has wavered, and consequently, the market is now set to start the session on a negative note. Ongoing concerns about the growing problems in the subprime mortgage market have served as a turning point after Countrywide (CFC) said in an update that it expects some short-term earnings volatility as a result of the changes in the subprime mortgage marketplace. In related news, New Century Financial (NEW) disclosed it has received notice from its lenders that they are discontinuing their financing under the company's short-term repurchase agreements and aggregation credit facilities.
