We have been doing fairly well this week despite the strong winds in our face. This week The Bankster Fraudsters had to help the US government raise 193 billion in Bills, Notes, Bonds and now Tips. Couple that with the Stock and PM option expirations today and we IMHO are fortunate to have weathered the storm(so far). Next week on the other hand has "only" 60 billion in short term bills(easier to sell) and we will have the option expiration out of the way for another month. I wouldn't make any investment decisions based on this opinion, however it does seem to be as good as any other theory.
