Over the last few years I've become more and more wise to the games played by the brokers and I wouldn't put it past them to have been upgrading this and that and buying futures when the market falls while they either sell a little into the rallies or buy puts knowing that when they return they'll be out to sell the stocks which have gained 2-3 times in the last year.......... they can sell lots for long term gains now and if I'm not mistaken, their bonuses get pegged to what returns the fund made by Sept. 30th.
When the big boys return after labor day..... are they gonna say... oh gee! I think I can get another 10% or 50% or are they gonna lock in those gains? Wouldn't take many selling funds to create a run to the doors........ improving economy or not.
