I was wondering whether there are any other people out there that think the US might go up tonight? I know it is hard to reason but I kind of get the feeling that we are pushed into the wrong position.

Estimates for the US unemployment numbers were known well before the official numbers were released. And tonight Alcoa is unlikely to report good numbers as their main customer (car and plane manufactures) are not looking too flash. However, this is kind of already known.

Though, if there is indeed a 'green shoot' out there, then it is the manufacturing index also realeased tonight. And estimates point towards an improvement.

Which makes me wonder. Also maybe in regards to the big boys.

Somehow I just have this funny feeling something isn't quite right and I am therefore prepared to go long.

Any comments are as always very much appreciated.
