It could all just be related to a slowing US economy rather than an inherent difficulty with OCDO's tech solution (although I have no specific knowledge). Joblessness just ticked up and that's sent the US stock markets down in what looks like a meaningful way, rather the frequent shock volatility and recovery. Be interesting to see what happends tomorrow, but if the US stays down then I think OCDO's SP will come off again. On the bright side, POO, Gold and silver shot up (again could be related to weakness in the US economy and perceptions about what's going to happen to the dollar. Also someone posted on the ENQ board that Israel is expecting and imminent attack from Iran. Are we seeing the beginning of the long awaited drop in general equities. In theory in the US, CTA's are pretty well maxed out to the longside, PI's have been piling in long and might be fatigued and the US has started it's closed season so that corporate entities are not buying back stocks (finishes later in April). Any negativity (increased Joblessness) could now trigger CTA selling to lock in profits and hence a more sustained correction. If that sort of stuff interests you, go check out Steven van Metre's daily video summaries for more detail.
