Howdee,
I left my computer for about an hour. . .still short and have been for more than a month. Couldn't add more NQ, since we didn't get up to any extreme levels.
But gained back equity lost during the pullback. THIS MARKET IS UGLY. I think even the day-traders got faked out today, no?
Well with the Vix up again I think we will see capitulation if not today, sometime this week. I mean visibility given by banks and brokers should be enough to put in a short-term bottom. Short-term that is - if most of their BS at the expense of taxpayers is moving behind us and that is a BIG IF.
Anyway let's hope the cat is let out of the bag and this market can move forward with a new 'confirmed' rally.pS
Meanwhile, what do you think Joe. . .a close below 1240 so soon would mean a new leg down, right?gA
OUCH! Ultimate target: 1215
Sad times for our country as banks continueg to topple -
first this
12:00 [NCC] National City says no unusual depositor or creditor activity.
then this
2:01 [NCC] National City has over $12 bln excess short-term liquidity.
and lastly (you know) this
BULLETIN >> NATIONAL CITY HALTED; SHARES DOWN 27%.
and now this
12:07 [WM] Washington Mutual shares fall 27%, to $3.53
<b>They oughta lock up all the politicians!</b>
