    S&P looking a little tired up here, if we give this back before the close, look out tomorrow.

    Good sign (unless you are short:D) it climbed into the close and finished on a high :j

    Yep close at the highs, significant increase in volume, although a lot of that will be short covering, hard to tell how much is new buying. Good breadth with 13 stocks up for every 1 down. We did break out of the down channel that has been in place since early last month, slight resistance in the mid 720's then the real test will be if we can close above the November lows again at 742, could be an interesting week after all.

    Funny I did short the gap ahead of the open, got blew out of that pretty quick :eek:

    Yep, fingers crossed it's not a blip. at this rate we could see gold at $2000 an ounce by the summer.

    I heard it referred to as a "Fools rally" AKA "Bear market sucker rally" by a financial expert on radio 4 this morning, my guess is he was right

    More often that not, the 'Fool' and the 'Sucker' is the one who is too narrow minded to profit from the Bear Market Rally !!!!!
