Even with good news, a big rally fizzled and the DOW ended down 25. Which seems odd, except a major commodities hedge fund blew up and, you guessed, beleaguered Lehman Brothers owns 20% of it. Just what they needed while trying to do a desperation sale of some or all of themselves before they have to report earnings in two weeks.

And Lehman is damaged, at the worst possible moment. No, I don’t think Lehman will go belly up, but the market will. I think the next bear market leg will start very soon, maybe even this week.
