I too think that a trap above 11000 is a distinct possibility, people are plowing new money like it's 2000 again

dunno DC, i had 11,400 has a target from ages ago, but i feel that that isnt going to happen until April...
is the 11035 a monthly target then?
as for my wide stops, i prefer to use them to give the seasonal tendencies time to manouevre...
time and time again i have been stopped out unnecessarily only to see the market come back to my entry price... hence the extra large stops i am now using...
not to everyone's taste though!

AA down 1.6% on earnings that fall short of estimates.
What a surprise, they estimated it wrongly ... oh dear....
SAN FRANCISCO (XFN-ASIA)-- Aluminum producer
Alcoa Inc. reported late Monday fourth-quarter net earnings of 26 cents a share,
down from 30 cents a share a year ago. Revenue for the three months ended Dec.
31 totaled $6.67 billion, up from $5.98 billion a year earlier. Analysts polled
by Thomson First Call had expected the Pittsburgh-based company to hand in
earnings of 37 cents a share on $6.69 billion in revenue.
make that a bit lower now...

No other Dow components reporting this week but we have November wholesale inventories and ABC Consumer Confidence tomorrow and November trade deficit on Thursday (which could be horrendous).

the more bad news the better.. then they can have the excuse (or not depends on what they really want) that interest rates will go down or stay the same or not go up much or other reason (insert here ) that you want to give for it to go up or down

"Entering 2005, we anticipated significant pressures from rising input, energy
costs and other cost inflation, but actual increases were even higher, nearly
$900 million for the year," Alain Belda, Alcoa's chairman and chief executive,
said in a statement.

I see that Finspreads has a "no markets currently available" i.e. they do not seem to be taking bets on the Dow or S&P this morning !!
Is it just me or has anyone else experienced this phenomonen ? Surely I can't be winning too often.
Yesterday the whole secure portion of Finspreads had supposedly crashed and again no bets.
I think sometimes they do this when a big move is anticipated on a news item.
Are the others in business ??

Slapshot said:I'm getting exactly the same Pat, can't be down to winning positions as I'm not in any at the mo
Thanks for the prompt reply Slapshot. I see now Finspreads has a "This page is currently unavailable" marker.
Perhaps it is a hacking problem ? I understand the SB companies get loads of those sort.
Perhaps someone with an SB account in another company will post if it is a problem with them too ???
Almost grounds for divorce if it is just Finspreads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
