Yesterday: "I expect a near term continuation of the pattern started 05/10 at least until 07/07." Just after the Fed announcement the markets rocketed to the upside.

Prior to today for Q206, DJIA -1.2%, SP500 -3.8% NAZ - 9.7%. We are witnessing Fed "pause spin" euphoria & quarter end window dressing that has sucked part of the herd in.

This appears to be a triple digit headfake much like the 14th - 15th, look what happened 16th - 18th. We stand by our position until the market proves otherwise with additional conviction.

Keep it tween da ditches, we take it day by day and keep our eyes peeled to the sky, because it could be a name brand that pancakes us. Just my opinion, I could be wrong, this is The Nattering Naybob and your NOT!!!
