Enjoy the dead cat bounce when you can guys.. I think yesterdays and to some extent

todays rise can be contributed to two factors..

i) Traders profit taking on their shorts and averaging out - Look at Citi group and

the whole financial sector's profermance for past few days.. that tells the story

ii) Qtr end - ppl are trying to re-balance their portfolio selling the commodities

like gold and oil and bonds and investing them on stocks

I think all in all the picture is still very dim..

We seem to have a pretty experienced bunch in here.. hum!! Do you guys mind telling me

how long have you been doing this? It seems to be like emini has be doing this for

quite a while.. Anyone in here who has been in a recession before?
