We shouldn't forget either that it is summer and with summer comes the summer doldrums in the stockmarket. Most things don't have much volume which can give manipulators, shorters, whatever, an opportunity to work the market the way they want. Also, who's to say that the SSC arn't takin their vacations this time of the year. They're human aren't they? Never mind don't answer that question. Anyway if you get a bunch of people that have to work as a group and make desicions as a group, taking holidays at different times, you can surely expect a slow down. Patience is still the word no matter how boring. GL
