[mayday]

James,
I agree with your feelings! I have been following the RevShark as of late. So far he has been doing quite well, if you have been following Tom's comments. Since he has a staff supporting his operation and with the history of a so-far-so-good track record, I'm inclined to follow his directions. Really thinking about dropping out of the tracker and going with RevShark! Kind of leaves more time for fishing!

The October NAHB housing market index also is due out……..

The dollar was down against the British pound and the yen, but flat against the euro after German investor confidence slumped to a 13-year low………

08:33 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -6.2. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -12.8. Futures trade sells off following PPI data, now indicating an even lower open for the indices. Total PPI fell 1.3% (consensus -0.7%) in September amid a record drop in gas prices but the more closely watched core rate rose a surprising 0.6% (consensus 0.2%), leaving the year/year rate at 1.2%.

Rev doesn't have a YTD (year to date) cause he started in Feb. The like above gives his totals. I think he is like 9.75% since Feb. That number may be a couple weeks old at this point. Any way you slice it the Rev has been doing very well.

Could we possibly end the day up?

Housing data sounds good.
Sales expectations: up
Buyer Traffic: up
Current Sales: flat

source: NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index

So 2 out of 3 look promising....

LOL......that was not a predicition.....I just don't like being told "your going to lose money today" even if it is by someone I respect as much as milk_man. No offense, but that was a "master of the obvious" statement.

Whats this NZX 50 thingy?
