He just seemed like a typical gambler to me. Made a heap, talked it up, and then goes quiet when he loses it all again. Instead of actually planning for the future... Meet these type of people at any race track, TAB, casino etc etc

Might be something to do with Abu Dhabi agreeing to fund $10b for Dubai World Debt

If Dubai wasn't that big a problem to start with then it's rescue shouldn't be that big a deal either? Hard to guess how long this jump will last. Hopefully into the US section tonight and for the next 2 days. The market has been looking for an excuse to rally.

Yes, and also the jump occurred before the Japanese revised figure which was on expectation so that doesn't seem to explain it either.

Pretty certain that was it timing wise. Just surprised at the magnitude of the global joy, when we've collectively decided to ignore it 2 Fridays ago.
Anyway, just trailling a stop on a small long and see how long the party lasts.

Does there HAVE to be a reason so badly? You guys seem hell bent on relating it to some news event is all.
Wasn't it mentioned around here that we were lagging behind aswell, so might be a bit of catch up in there if so. Good for those long anyway

Of course there does. The market doesn't just shoot up in a straight line based on nothing at all.
I'm happy about it, everything turned green - but I would still like to know why!
