I'm actually thinking of sitting the week out but some items (DBA for example) look ripe for some nibbling. Sigh. Jim,

Definitely a good sign here. I don't know if it was the Fed cuts that made this possible, but definitely they helped ease things a bit ;) I’m sitting here right now looking at positive territory in the Dow trading action off of starting nearly 200 points negative.

Dollar v. Yen is down to near 96.70, lowest levels in 12+ years. This is what everyone's been waiting for. We'll see capitulation tomorrow. The XLF is going to be crushed I bet. I'd love to see the VIX near 40 tomorrow but that's hoping hah! Oh it is a panic. Dollar v. Yen is down to near 96.70, lowest levels in 12+ years. This is what everyone’s been waiting for.

I recall you using TradeStation. Guess you're forced to pay for everything with them. thinkorswim has up to date futures right now and it's not pretty. Dollar against the Yen is free falling too. It's hell out there right now. We may be witnessing history in the making to be honest. Would be interesting to be a part of a stock market crash if it comes to that. Ahh.
