    Water is the one commodity I hold.

    I'm sure I had an old auntie troubled with water retention. Nasty business. Hope you get well soon Mr Dog. ;)

    So the market is back up again.
    Did those who sold buy back in time?

    But Glen! Don't be hasty! The rally we see today proves that a crash or correction is coming, because markets always rally before a crash or correction. I wonder why that might be?

    Could it be because with hindsight you mark the "start" of the crash at the peak, and the peak can only be reached by means of an upward slope, perhaps?

    UK100 is still 5% off the recent peaks over the last few months.

    Jpn225 is the one that's rallied today.

    Well it's being rallying for the past week or two. And a rally doesnt prove that a crash is coming - no matter what the market does a crash is always coming as is a boom but sadly we dont know when nor which will come first.

    Err, I hope everyone realised I was kidding in the above. I even went so far as to insert an emoticon.

    What I'd lime to know is why these dips never seem to coincide with HL's monthly savers DD date!
