Kassz007 ,

i agree, im not saying the economy isnt in a mess and financial meltdowns make for great conversations. But the worst rarely happens when everyone expects it, usually comes up and bites you on the ass when you least expect.

The markets where called higher and higher going into 07 and look what happened. For the past few years everyone has been saying how this is the end of the financial world and people dont even trust banks with savings accounts and the market has rallied.

Im just trying to get to the bottom of what will cause the meltdown so many people seem to be expecting. Printing money is an answer I have got. But that has been happening for 2 years and hasnt caused the markets to crash. When does it stop making the markets go up?

your question should be when will gold stop going up? Doomsday is coming. My forecast shows SP 500 bottom around 450-550 before spring 2011

Here is a novel concept:

What if the world DOESN'T end and the markets DON'T crash?

There is creation and there is destruction. That's mother nature's rule. Remember dinosaurs.

Oil getting rocked -- EURO markets down -- bad econo numbers this morning -- ndx straight up ~ 250 points.

And this fucking thing won't go down.

Go fuck yourselves.

No drop.

Its 1980-2007 all over again.

Everyone says buy and hold is dead.

Which means it is not.

Thats why i'm so wary to short. Everyone from stock boards to the real world is so negative and everywere i go people shorting. I think we spike to 1200-1300 by year end just because no one thinks we can.

Well It's just annoying -- the market goes from shitting its pants -- to bullet proof vest longs. I've seen this many times over -- but havn't played the last few days right.

Anyways -- just a little frustrated -- been putting some size on and I took some decent sized hits
