    Have yet to not find one. ETFs are widely traded, including early and after hours, pick one and watch it's ticker.

    Soaring out of correction territory to end the week. Who could have imagined? :D Will we end up 5% off the lows?

    Correction game over! ;)

    We may not be out of the woods yet. We will likely test the 200 day again.

    But the sleeping tiger's cage has been rattled.

    The market is built upon the carcasses of those trying to time the market. A handful of people can actually do it but the rub is everyone thinks they are one of those people.

    I can time the market, but usually I time it wrong.

    The Economist: It Appears Market Conspiracy Theorists Were Right

    "Common to all the papers is the recognition that the public markets are, as conspiracy theorists have long argued, not truly public at all" and that "changing the law to fix that may not even be feasible."

    I read the same article, derryb.

    The evidence cited in the article that insider favoritism is routine and systemic may have always been around, as conspiracy theorists would claim. But capacities now for number crunching makes it more difficult to deny or downplay insider trading as the activity of a few "rogue traders."

    Confidence on the part in the integrity of at least the basic system is vital for its long-term survival. People can tolerate occasional rogues; they won't forever tolerate a game structured to be rigged in favor of insiders.

    It's crunch time, FED's gotta choose between raising rates or protecting stock indexes.

    Duh - it's the bond market

    "The 10-year Treasury sets the price for every asset in the world," said Brent Schutte, chief investment strategist at Northwestern Mutual. Rates remain very low historically — but they're climbing fast enough to unnerve a market accustomed to cheap money."

    You can short long term bond interest rates. Your mileage may vary.

    Another week last week and we may only see one rate hike this year. Then to 1.75% by the end of 2019.
