There was a huge pool of bid/ask right at the open. As I type it's starting to move up a bit.

Dow futures open about 1800 Central Time don’t they?

Last week, on Thursday, the DOW futures were up during the night and we remember what happened there. I had checked in the morning thinking things were OK and didn’t look again until the late afternoon.... so much for the futures as a predictor either way?

No even.. This site scoops on a regular basis. I can't begin to tell you how many times FR has broke a story and Drudge or another outlet comes waddling along afterwards.

Thanks. I’m active in stocks but not futures. I thought the first info would come from Asia when Japan and China opened.

Reid and Boehner should step down immediately.

A general election should be called for this November. Obama should be deemed by both parties to be ineligible to serve. Biden is unfit to serve.

The House and the Senate should get busy on this immediately.

I take credit for Dingell's "Control the People" and the "1099" reporting mess in Obamacare weeks before Heritage or anyone even talked about it. Thanks to my CPA friend reading a synopsis right after Obamacare came out...

If it was along these lines and successful, I sure wish I had.
