Wrong. We have had plenty of V-Bottoms before, and it the "Triple-Witch" obviously accelerated the triggering of "collars" on the way down.

We BLEW THRU the 61.8% FIB retracement at SPX 1424. :D

Here is a bit of a roadmap, but it is subject to "interpretation" and certainly not cut in stone . . .

Does it really matter? Why do you continue to question WHY? We are now over 60 SPX handles off the lows and you continue to ASK WHY??? Does this help you make money trading? Still like a "Deer Caught in Headlights". :D

Nothing is WRONG with the Market. Only those people that continue to question the last 60 SPX handles straight up. Tons of money-making opportunities. All you have to do is TRADE it, without looking for reasons to be biased in any one direction. "Observe what is happening and assume it will...

The West Coast market has been "correcting" for a full year now. It is not " finally starting to sell-off" as you stated. Totally inaccurate.

Never seems to fail. Amazing! :) http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/viewnews.php?id=83699

I'm still puzzled why anyone would TRADE off of volume. My clearing firm only PAYS ME based on PRICE! You still don't get it. SPX now 40 handles off the lows, and you are still LOOKING for things to be "negative" about. Meanwhile, you have missed a HUGE move! Amazing. :D

Yet another thought provoking post on ET these days. :eek:

Tell me, does this help YOU or anyone else who has commented on her forecasts make money? Who cares what she says. I'm always puzzled why so many people make such a fuss about market strategists. These people are merely MARKETING tools for their respective investment banking firms. They...

No, I am currently not a mega-bull. But you Sir seem to be rather naive when it comes to market history. Do you always resort to such rhetorical hyperbole? I have noticed that you have posted over 40 times in the last two days and one really wonders if you actually trade?

Broker/Dealers used to allow people to "park" their licenses but no longer do so because it is a huge RED FLAG to the regulators ( you must do some business ) AND because it costs the broker/dealer a substantial amount of money ( in the thousands ) for liability insurance, etc.

Something must be really wrong? Please, do tell and enlighten us as to what must be "really wrong".

You need to do your homework. The Quarterly Rebalancing ( and weighting ) is shown on their website, for free in "xls" format. http://www2.standardandpoors.com/spf/pdf/index/031407_Global100-Rebal.pdf

First you ask a question about the S&P 500 index without having the understanding that it is CAP-WEIGHTED ( and not price-weighted ) as Pabst so accurately points out, then you come back to say "Forget about the index for a minute"? Too funny. Another typical ET "conspiracy" post that shows...

Because the large amounts of open interest in the call and put options at a particular strike will cause market-makers who are usually short-vol to have to buy or sell stock to close out their positions.

So much jealousy on ET. :D

True.

Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley would disagree with you. Read his report of last Monday regarding "The Liquidity Paradox"

It happens to the best of us. Don't beat yourself up too much about it. Sometimes when we actually see our "opinion" unfolding as predicted, it's difficult to accept what our EYES are actually observing. Trust your EYES. :)
