I'll kick it off.

But programs, especially Friday into the close programs, are funny things.

And there's my bit more of selling. Notice the 1-min ABCD here, so we'll see if they are done now at cash close, or not.

Headline on Bloomberg: 'Wall Street wakes up to a slew of good news'. Too funny. The game never changes, and never will. Too bad I have to say 'And I'm glad'. I wish, in that sense, I was involved in a more honest profession. What I do, I feel, is honest, but I do it surrounded by a dishonest system. And the part that sometimes bothers me is that without that dishonest system, likely the 'honest' trading money couldn't be made.

Interesting 6.25 point pop right into the futures close. That's some crazy stuff. I'm curious to see what the little after-session does. Likely nothing.

I think the market will be alright after all. The Feds have a new tool. Just point it at the banks and fire away.

They are rising it up and over that pop high.

Okay, that concludes this week's episode of 'The Jim Show'.

P.S. I'm not belittling rat's endless excellent charts or Marcin's work, I know I'm not the only contributor, I'm just joking because many times I'm it in here, and I am the one who does the endless blow by blow stuff, you know, 'The Jim Show'.

Yeah, charts like that!

Nah... And even if it did happen, the ES down 400 points from here, whoop-de-do. It's still up like 125% off the lows. Wow, and that's after an '87 style crash?
