Follow-up. This is the electronic Globex market which has very thin volumes compared to regular trading hours. You would have to see the SP down something like 20-25+ point/ND 100 60-80+ before it's a clue the market is discounting something significant.

Ok... so I am looking numbers on that page WAY more down than you describe as significant.What am I looking at, and what does it mean?
BTW, thanks for posting the site

Please forgive my ignorance and naiviti, but what does S & P with a - 170 mean, similarly NASDAQ with a -2450 mean? Are we supposed to mentally put decimal points in there somewhere? This is an honest question. I would really like to know more about interpreting market symbols and indicators.Thanks!

Nice shot mike, now HOW MANY PLACES for the immaginary decimal point.chuck, NOT an expert

Yes, exactly where do the decimal points go? On a related subject, Trimtabs.com has U.S. liquidity figures for the markets. Very predictive of future market moves.
