911 was a learning experience trading such a crises.
This one is going to be even a bigger learning experience.
Catching tops is a fools game.
Let it break.
The moves are bigger in the second phase than the first drop. This market is not going to crash the way you peope think. 7% down day is not going to happen.
When the Bear is realized, it will be around for a decade.
Plenty of time to make money on the short side.
What you see now is a move to weaken the US. A transition away from the dollar is the call and the dollar will NOT COME BACK IN OUR LIFETIME! It is over, finished for the dollar and will not rebound but float at these lower levels for at least a decade.
Oil, going higher than 100 by Xmas. Gas prices are not lagging and will finally come to par with oil movements.
Consumer is dying but does not yet know it. When they wake up, panic & fear will strike then and spending will hault.
Global Markets will not "Follow" the US markets nor will their economies. M&A activity is on the rise in Euro land and Asia and funding of venture projects is massive.
American funding of new business is halted, Feds cheap money is going toward the life line of the 4 Major banks. lending has halted across the board in the US.
Bank Faliuers are coming but will not be televised. It will not be like 1929. The banks will disapear via M&A activity guided by the Feds. Thus the failuers will be masked behind "Consolidations".
This is going to be one exciting decade for those who play the global markets and who participate in M&A activity world wide.
GAME ON
