Let's not forget, it's JPM that's been almost solely responsible for the "emergency" large-block buy orders in SPY which have provided us almost daily stick-save entertainment for the last couple of months; and it's JPM which still has its secondary coming up at the end of June. I have a funny feeling that they've finally come to the conclusion that it would be too difficult to keep the market propped for that long and so are content to let it drop. Easier to make a repeat of 1/2/03 - 1/6/03 to elevate their share price.]]>

It's at the point where the propping has turned counter-productive, and yet it's still going on - WTF?]]>

And it looks like someone's setting up early for the anticipated 2:00 Rally. It's only 1:30 and someone just jammed the Dow up 20 points (and back to a positive number) in about two ticks. The Powers That Be really just don't give a crud what kind of damage they're doing to the market's credibility as a valid valuation discovery mechanism, do they?]]>

I have a problem with this statement. I don't see the market climbing a "wall of worry" at all. What I see is a market cherry-picking the one spinnable-into-good-news item from the 37 bad news items and then, completely uncritically, going absolutely gonzo with it to the upside. There's no worry here. That's what frightens me.]]>

I think Felix may have a point; however I'd like to add a fourth possibility: Since everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) expects a crash, there might be no one left to sell to foment a crash.]]>
