Seems like the specs only really do well on flat days on wallstreet:
big fall wallstreet - traders run for cover and cash up of buy blue chips.
big rise wallstreet - traders trade blue chips in anticipation of risk-free percent or two.
Nothing day wallstreet - traders look to get lucky with whatever spec is looking hot at the time.
Tonight is looking like a nothing day to me in the US so heres hoping for some action tomorrow.
