I'm not sure what to expect from this holiday week. The market is extended and probably better sold than bought, but this will probably be a dull market -- and you know what they say about dull markets....

Intraday Updates:
- 10:26 Pretty slow so far today. I'm waiting on the Nasdaq to break its forst 30-minute range before making any moves..
- 11:40 Naz is heading down again after taking out the early highs. Seems like we're in for another of those choppy, consolidating days. I don't see many interesting moves today so I'll be happy to sit this session out. I'll check back after lunch though...
- 2:20 Do I hear $600??? from Briefing.com -- 14:18 GOOG Google target increase details (405.56 +5.35) -Update- UBS raises their tgt on GOOG to $500 from $430, based solely on its current products and trends. Firm says that even if most of its future products fail, the underlying fundamentals of its current offerings are solid.

Hi Mike, if the mkt is particularly dull and you have a spare few minutes, I'd be grateful for any feed back on my blog. I invest across the spectrum (equities, fx, commodities) and am trying to make myself more accountable through my blog. I also have a simple live Portfolio that can be tracked.
I'm only reading your site and Vic Niederhoffer's on a daily basis right now, but I'm slowly branching out.
Kind regards
