Congoboy,
You are a contrarian indicator.
I myself was debating whether or not to shift my bias and reel in on the shortside here. But your argument caught my attention.
Bottoms are formed on the basis of an equity transfer from weak to strong hands as uncertainty escalates into full-blown fear. This is necessary because a market owned with conviction blows out the opposite side of the trade by failing to falter on the next troubling event to come. That reverses the trend.
I thought that shift may have happened Monday. But the lack of volume and capitulation selling troubled me. Reading your post, I know why. There could not be weaker hands than yours. This market is probably filling up with similar lotto players. What do you suppose will happen if we retest Monday's lows? Your fate will be in the hands of a crowd of frightened, over-leveraged, low-conviction risk-takers, and we will finally get that capitulation sell-off.
