randy, i think your phrase, "it is a metaphor for the market saying "i give up", at which point, the market has no more interest in flexing its muscle..." is most interesting.
during the height of the storm, i could almost tangibly feel the fury of the market pounding us. it was incredible, and while depressed, i was also almost awestruck. It was like the blind rage of an insane monster, or possibly a hurricane. just as clearly, i sense that it has lifted, like a storm that leaves its ruin for all to see in the calm sunlight of a tranquil day. i don't mean to suggest that there will be no squalls from here on out, just that where before i sensed fury, i now feel calmness and guarded optimism.
