Credit Suisse. There's a reason for that - it has to do with ass covering but we can't discuss this further. “Didn’t I see somewhere that UBS has a huge long position in IYR?”

I'm beginning to subscribe to your proposed possible next leg up to an ultimate high near 1200 for the S&P and $50 for the IYR. This is where technical analysis shines. It allow you to place reasonable targets and triggers within an overall trend. Combined with a fundamental thesis and applied to longer term time frames you have a powerful investment strategy. Like all strategies it will work until it doesn't. But I think this one will be good for a fair bit longer because price movements are based on powerful emotional forces and until many people start using long term based automated trading systems designed to remove emotional bias it will be a good bet.
