The economy doesn't really look like it's falling off a cliff.

I don't think (Fed Chairman Alan) Greenspan is ready to let the economy roll off the cliff.

It's been a rather difficult week and people want to head home for the weekend and find out what is the disposition of Mr. Bin Laden, if at all, and maybe see how things are clicking in the Middle East.

We're getting reasonably close to where a bottom might occur. It's almost possible to sense a rally might occur this week.

A bounce like this really needs volume to gain legs and credibility.

You've got some big data coming out tomorrow (Friday) and that's a perfect excuse to put the wallet back on the hip. It's another case of a squandered opportunity.
