was about to go down because one or more market makers reduced their bid, it is not unusual for a dozen or more orders to sell the stock to come literally within a second or two. Accordingly, your choice of stocks is important and your preferences will also affect your intraday margin requirements. |

The markets are far more competitive, more volatile, and more challenging than ever. No one knows what the trading market of the future will look like or how it will fully develop. I have my own ideas about how the market should operate and will share my view of the future with you. From the beginning I viewed DAET like President John F. Kennedy considered space during the Sputnik era"a new ocean, and I believe the United States must sail upon it." |

Among the events that have transpired over the last few years are the skyrocketing of the Dow, huge increases in other key indexes, and the ballooning of stock trading volume to unprecedented levels. The change of mass psychology concerning investments in general is leading to a massive restructuring of the equities market. An enormous amount of mutual fund money is locked into retirement funds. As today's baby boomers plan for retirement, the stock markets appear to be overbought. I believe that retirement fund money is supporting the stock markets and is not about to run to other investments. This support augers well for using DAET to trade the volatility. This "bloat" also affords short-selling opportunities for DAET as profit taking occurs. |

Federal task forces are studying various methods of funding Social Security in the future. The Social Security pyramid will have fewer people supporting an aging population. Currently, the U.S. government invests your Social Security contributions in its own very long term bonds, which have no investment risk but repay with inflated dollars. One of the solutions proposed by the task forces is that Social Security be allowed to invest in the stock market (which has historically kept up with inflation) instead of fixed governmental obligations. This should result in added stimulus for the market as even more money chases the same stocks. |
