its tough for quities if you don't get in very early in the day and bail. i like it. however,this whipsaw action is indictaive of a stock market that will fall hard.

There is no whipsaw, dummy. The markets have been surging for the past three days. And there won't be a fall either. We're done selling off.

It's like Christmas in both July and August this year. Unreal summer action, as this time frame is typically akin to watching grass grow. These 20-30 point swings are simply amazing and have been easy to spot.

The sad part is when we get back to normal volatility it sure is going to be boring.

Isn't that the truth. Wasn't that long ago you worked hard to pilfer just 1-2 points on a five to seven point range day. Now, clipping 10-30 points on these current moves is almost a given.
