THE BULL RUN IS ON-BRING IN THE BEARS-- LETS SHOOT THEM.

Catching the bear: Two men went bear hunting. While one stayed in the cabin, the other went out looking for a bear. He soon found a huge bear, shot at it but only wounded it. The enraged bear charged toward him, he dropped his rifle and started running for the cabin as fast as he could. He ran pretty fast but the bear was just a little faster and gained on him with every step. Just as he reached the open cabin door, he tripped and fell flat. Too close behind to stop, the bear tripped over him and went rolling into the cabin. The man jumped up, closed the cabin door and yelled to his friend inside, "You skin this one while I go and get another!"

Is the bear hunter's bounce the equivalent of the dead cat bounce?

probably will be. I have a feeling the alsi should reverse around the 19600/19900 levels

It is a sucker rally. It will be a one that will make forget about the Bear, because it will last few months. When complacency sets in again next year the second part of the Bear show will start.

All thats needed is for the Yanks to find the bad lads who created this poo and shaft them, after that GREED returns, something defined as human behaviour.

This is unlikely to be a reversal or the start of a bull run, more likely a rally in a bear market. There is a sizeable bull trap building up here. Step back and look at daily and weekly charts and the bigger picture becomes clear. Calm before the storm? Consider the WaMu CDS auction this Thu and on fri UK economic data which is going to clearly show recession.

nova, why isnt there more info on who is actually holding the can after the lehman auction? someone surely has to pay/take-the-hit on the 90c/$ deficit? Are the yanks (ben, henry and co.) not saying anything lest they spook the markets? Surely, this is too big to just sweep under the rug? More importantly, am I making a big deal about nothing? :-)

geh geh geh, would love to sell into this rally but waiting for a bit more upside before I do so. DOW futures can't seem to make up it's mind whether to sell off on earnings reports or whether to suck in more bulls

Because CDS are OTC transactions that are private and non-regulated. The last thing any company wants to admit right now is that they're holding the can. Not until they've scrambled and borrowed enough money to cover their bad bets. Which is why banks are still so wary of lending to anyone let alone each other. The only place this is going to come out is when companies report earnings and even then they're going to try and hide it with technical jargon. No one knows who has skeletons in the closet
