i'm only up to p. 3373, but so far, summary of the great minds' thinking:
mbusch/apex: bear, market will go much lower
islands/b1s2: bull, market will go much higher
mbusch and apex qualify theirs, saying "if this, then that", so not pure bear, but essential bear. i agree with changing your mind if conditions change. gotta be nimble.
i'll stick my dos centavos in and say we're at an inflection point, could go either way. i'm on sidelines for now. wait for a side to clearly declare itself. however, i'm at a bearish bias starting next monday oct 1. for now, i'd say flat to up (this week). still on sidelines for futures, but selling some stock as we get to resistance zones, prepping for potential drop next week.
