T/A ETF AND INDEX

JLS - I think I agree with Poker that you are just a disagreeble sort...

"That a single news event, or a Bernanke fart could be a conspiracy?"

Your meaning was clear to me, but anyone else can judge for themselves.

Regarding my view of the market, just because the market *can be* event driven on any particular day does not mean there is not value in attempting to discern the deeper trend, not unlike the splash and waves caused by a rock tossed into a slow moving stream. The event driven effects are very real and can cause real pain if you are on the wrong side, and you can expect to be right no more than 50% of the time on those occasions, but if you can get the other part of the market behavior right more than wrong, you will be a winner.

If you take issue with any of this, just put me on "ignore" and spare us the drama.
