Obviously the report was up to last Tuesday so it doesn’t include whatever carnage happened Wednesday and Thursday. That will be an interesting report next week.
What it does still show is that the market loves bucks and until they really start believing that there’s a possibility of the economy turning south I don’t see them giving up these positions to any great degree.
