    That's why it helps to work together.

    There's a great idea, relax lending standards.
    Why does that sound familiar.
    In Dog Beers I've only had two.

    CH and all

    Good safe move getting out and back in G.

    I got stopped out of my SSO for + 2.6% a few minutes ago. I am now looking at getting some SDS, looks pretty good on 60-min chart. I think I will wait until after 2 pm then put a buy order in for 55.98 (daily 10 sma).

    A decent enough gain today, but I was expecting more. Could see some follow-though tomorrow, but it was looking weak after the Fed announcement. This market may be weaker than it appears.

    Currencies kept the market from turning red this afternoon. You got lucky IMO.

    You always have to have a small measure of luck. Otherwise there'd be no risk.

    More on buy and hold. This cuts to the heart of the problem.

    CH, although there is a flaw in the long term buy and hold mentality it is still the best option for the majority of retirement investors. If everyone was well versed in market research, has discipline and desire, time, wherewithall and lets not forget basic mental aptitude for this type of work then yes buy and hold is not solid. (No slight on BT)
    Choices:
    1. Trust an investment firm to make decisions for you (Madoff)
    2. Market timing (requires all of the above)
    3. Matress (No Return)
    4. Don't save crap

    Of course you are only speaking to those on the MB in which case a majority make informed investment decisions. If they are unsure they follow the leader. Sometimes that is the best choice.

    Sorry I never addressed CD laddering. I do this with CD and several types of bonds.
    When I stop for my morning coffee my waitress is mid forties, nice lady. I cannot imagine this individual grasping the concept and if she did would not be interested in the time investment it takes to do it yourself. (Inerest waning) that puts us back to someone else doing it for them (Madoff).

    What do guys think of a rally continuing until tomorrow (Friday) or even Tuesday (June 30) as end of quarter (and end of month) window dressing? Your views will be apreciated. Bernanke will be testifying on Capitol Hill today. But I read on Bloomberg that SPX shorting is rising. Possible short covering rally?

    End of quarter window dressing is still in play, but this market is technically weak and rallies are being sold. I'm not comfortable holding equities right now. Expect to short the rally today.
