don't forget u.s have long weekend coming up, page-7

""Just my view, but with the inaug immininent....wouldn't a tanking DOW indicate overwhelmingly a non- endorsement of Obama before he's even had a chance ? My thinking is that it will either be a big green finish going into the long weekend or a neutral / flat finish prior to a relief rally now that the bush is gone. My thoughts only.""

i think they'll get this week over with in the RED, then next Tuesday will be another week, perhaps in which it will be filled with optimism with Obama now at the helm.

also things aren't going to turn overnight, plenty of hurdles ahead.

but i reckon Obama can muster the troops and within a short period turn sentiment around.
