      On a Friday in the middle of August 1997, a trading day that I hadseen many times before came to be. The analysis that I was performing atthat time gave strong indications that it was coming. I spent the weekbefore this day not trading, but researching the market. That particularFriday was smack in the middle of "The Dog Days of Summer" and preceded akey Federal Reserve meeting the following Tuesday. I knew that no one wouldwant to worry about sizeable positions that they were holding just beforethe Fed met. I knew this because I had seen it before.
