I would mark the start of a 3 and 5 day cycle sideways up phase from yesterday's close. Top likely at any time from today's open to Thursday's open. See yesterday's Wall Street Examiner Professional Edition Fed Report for a theory on why this week may be stronger than the past 5 days.

For the remainder of the day, & and the week, I’d just like to say:

 

:ph34r: * Beware the over confidence * :ph34r:

 

Make a few good trades, sure.

 

But don’t let it bolster the old enthusiasm too much.

 

Everyone is one trade away from a looser.

 

Keep yer powder dry. Keep them stops nice n tight. And above all, reign ‘em in if they get too fast & loose.

Seems that the huge problem with pensions has been put on the back burner lately and the problem is only getting worse every passing day.... Unfortunately I didnt have a link, but here is a quick excerpt...

 

By David Evans

March 3 (Bloomberg) -- The Chicago Transit Authority retirement plan had a $1.5 billion hole in its stash of assets in 2007. At the height of a four-year bull market, it didn?t have enough cash on hand to pay its retirees through 2013, meaning it was underfunded to the tune of 62 percent.

By looking back to the roots of the misadventure in which Bear Stearns traders Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin lost roughly $1.6 billion while allegedly misleading investors, Cohan illustrates how the missteps of the few can have consequences for the many.
