Well we are still flirting with this support area. Last post I talked about the 1670-1680 area. I see this area holding. I also got the politicians wrong. I thought they would keep the government open. Now the battle is over the debt. Going to be interesting to see how this ends. I am still long term bullish and short term bearish. I think this area will hold and start a climb from the 1665 line I have drawn. Went to Vegas this weekend and met some of my trading friends. What a great time with a wonderful group of people. I also met Oscar Carboni. He is a riot. I look forward to learning more about him. Happy Trading!!

Check on the first 2 funds. Ask them if this mirrors the S&P 500. I think the first one does. The second one might but I think it mirrors the DOW. Check these then let me know.
