It, (war), can not be all that good for this type of reaction. Am I wrong?   KJ (Karen) Senior Member Username: Karen Post Number: 118 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, March 21, 2003 - 08:28 pm:    Stacey, I'm not sure I understand your question but the short course on the The Dow is that it runs largely on rumor and emotion. If traders feel confident, it goes up. A short, decisive U.S. victory (or the feeling that's afoot) should send it up. How long the bounce lasts is the big question.

That's why some rumors can ruin a perfectly good day.

Only wish I'd have done it Wednesday!

I understand that the market moves on emotion. I guess that I am surprised by the amount of movement, and I am wondering aloud if this is too big of a jump so soon. I do not know if the down turn in the lead up to the war matches this up swing.

Over 1000 points in one week. Damn. Curtis
