This market is contrived.

Show me 1 day in last 3 weeks where moves
- up in 1st week of 2003
- flat in 2nd week
and down in 3rd week

ALL DIDN'T OCCUR BETWEEN 9:30 AM and 4 PM.

No gap up,no gap down. Just let them bet it up or down in the morning and distribute the hell out of it as much as they can in between. No clown long was left behind with AH action.

If this market had any reason to head higher, they would have it gapped up one day this month 3-4 percent before 9:30 AM or 4-5 percent reversal between 2:30 PM and 4PM.
Until one of those 2 things happens market is going down a little bit a day. Today was just continuation of people who hit market up bigtime for long PUTs and short calls for JAN and priced were inflated to cheat them of fair market price. Stocks like EXPE that were propped on Friday to close up $0.80 to stay above $65 had to be "correctly repriced" today.
