Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[jdaasoc]

I was always under the impression that Oak is one of the stronger type of hardwood...

I got quote from a tree service to cut down oak tree near house that was twice the price of previous quotes for the maples that I have had cut down before in last 3 years.

I have seen large cars get wrapped around oak trees rather then tree falling down. With maple trees, just coat them with a little ice in winter and the slightest breeze snaps them in half.

Market is making a definite statement closing well above 1015. I am staying with no new long positions and nothing short until I see if we hold 1015.

Shorts could fuel rally higher to levels not seen since 5/02. 1080 keeps coming back as mother of all resistance levels.
