this is a dow suckers' rally ... , page-18

I think in the current environment, it is very healthy to have an evenish amount of upbeat and cautious opinions put forward in order to keep reality in check.

There is clearly some positive news for the markets to feed off being filtered through recently and it's about time one might say.

And on the flipside there are also some negatives yet to play out, as many point out, the largest ofcourse being the 66% increase in real risk being held in the otc derivatives market while the size of the market fell 13% which is ofcourse a positive as reported by bis around a week ago.

The last thing we need is a room full of only bears or only bulls as we speak. Just an opinion tho. We are without doubt the lucky country no doubt in that, ya gotta love it.
