Walking Out on the Insiders

By James J. Cramer

They clocked the sucker. They just ripped it apart. And that phony expiration pricing really did the trick to make the whole world feel that the game is rigged.

I talked to many people this week who feel completely betrayed by equities. For the most part, they were brainwashed buy-and-holders who used to laugh at my defensive selling and trading.

They are bleeding from the eyeballs and they think it is a total insiders game, and stuff like the Goldman (GS:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) and UPS (UPS:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) prints at the bell certainly go a long way to confirm that.

I think the depth of anger and despair about this market is so great that we can't expect anything but a feeble rally if we get a rally at all. In the meantime, the earnings that come out between now and August will for the most part be filled with the warts-and-all view that we got from a Pepsi (PEP:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) or a Baxter (BAX:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) or a Philip Morris (MO:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis).

In other words, lower prices ahead. The fact that we couldn't rally on expiration week is a very negative turn of events.

Steel yourself.
