(MarketWatch) - U.S. personal incomes increased 0.8% in March, the biggest gain since September, the Commerce Department said Monday. Consumer prices rose 0.4%. Core prices (which exclude food and energy prices) rose 0.3%, the biggest gain since October. Core inflation is up 2% in the past 12 months, at the top of the Fed's comfort zone. Consumer spending increased 0.6% in nominal terms. Real consumer spending (adjusted for inflation) rose 0.2%. Economists expected incomes and spending to rise 0.4%. The increase in incomes was largely due to payments under the new Medicare drug program
Very choppy so far today in the 11390 - 11425 range.
Dow really needs to convincingly breach 10450 if we are going to see a real rally this week otherwise consolidation in the 10250 - 450 range could continue a while longer. Would look to go short if the bottom end of this range is breached.

That sudden 60pt spike down at around 8.15pm was due to comments made by a CNBC News Anchor Maria Bartiromokarmit said:
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Noted CNBC news anchor Maria Bartiromo announced on the air that she had a private conversation with Fed chief Ben Bernanke at a Washington dinner on Saturday and Bernanke told her that the media misunderstood his remarks. In testimony to Congress on Thursday, Bernanke said: "there is ... the possibility that if there is sufficient uncertainty, that we may chose to pause, simply to gain more information to learn better what the true risks are and how the economy is actually evolving." This remark was interpreted by the markets as a signal that the Fed would pause in June. Bartiromo said that Bernanke told her that he was trying to create flexibility for the central bank and data would determine rate move.
Maybe still a little premature to call this market down yet !
Bolivia Military Told to Occupy Gas Fields
Monday May 1, 3:54 pm ET
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) -- President Evo Morales ordered soldiers to immediately occupy Bolivia's natural gas fields Monday and threatened to evict foreign companies unless they sign new contracts within six months giving Bolivia majority control over the entire chain of production. Morales said soldiers and engineers with Bolivia's state-owned oil company would be sent to installations operated by foreign petroleum companies.
"The time has come, the awaited day, a historic day in which Bolivia retakes absolute control of our natural resources," Morales said in a speech from the San Alberto petroleum field in southern Bolivia to decree what he called a nationalization of the natural gas industry. The field is operated by Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA in association with the Spanish-Argentine Repsol YPF SA and France's Total SA.
Bolivia has South America's second largest natural gas reserves after Venezuela, and all foreign companies must turn over most production control to Bolivia's cash-strapped state-owned oil company, Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos, Morales said.

Hi Kriesau
you just said a mouthful.................................
I am happier, as I am sure other shorters are. It takes a little of the red ink out of the picture. One big bad day tomorrow and I'll be happy. I do think if we take the 11260 out then we could easily shoot back into the old range this week.... Feel as though the odds are ever so slighlty favouring shortside plays at the moment.
