mlsoft, as i said, i think we're right on track for the pull-back/decline to happen right about now. among other things, i'm curious to see if we close fri. below mon. opening. if so, that will be a strong indication of a reversal in progress. i think the only potential fly in the ointment to the scenario we forsee is one fed reserve just touched upon; that is if the ecb also cuts tomorrow. that could forestall any imminent decline for a bit longer. good luck with your open positions.
