Now that US banks have raised capital, there is no need to aritificially support their stock. We'll see next week. Europe on the other hand ... poor ING.

In stark contrast to the snide comments posted across at FT Alphaville, the other blog I follow assiduously. Congratulations on the quality of your readership.

Risk reward ratio is not appealing on the long side now.

Money managers are sitting on great gains for the year. This "buy the dip" mentality could very well change dramatically as "buy the dip" become "protect the gains". I have a feeling a lot of equity guys are looking at their allocations this morning and realizing that they have far too much exposure to stocks and that the risk of further commercial and residential real estate shocks could pose problems in 2010. I am not a dip buyer here. Dan,
