Thanks rcptrader, it looks like this year will be a gap down. Of the last 3 years oil has been going up and nothing has been as bad as the disaster in NO. Bush is on TV and that is good for a drop. If the 50 crosses above the 200 on the 5 min. VXN I don't think the market will close green today. Carl <img src=http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/2893/5minvxn6bh.png>
