Mark today as a Black Bailout day .
Nuff said.
I'm a bear on the market too, but 50% down from here is borderline disaster scenario (assuming you mean 50% on the S&P, not some b.s. index like the NASDAQ or RUSSELL).
I could see maybe another 25%, but that would be all. At that point, the government and the big banks/firms would step in and support the market otherwise their gravy train scams (401k's, mutual funds, buy and hold bullshit, etc.) would be finished.
