Agreed. Although if it does come in above expectations, in a market that already is in a downdraft, it would sure help propagate the weakness. The trendlines being broken, failed rallies, falling US dollar, rising bond yields. Horrible breadth. Looks like a winning combination for a BK to me. Time will tell. Later, Rich

""I wouldn't worry about the employment or any other number. The market is in a downward spiral now, based on long term indicators... and we have had some significant trend breaks..." When do you see the spiral bottoming?

Here's something for people who read this thread to think about... How do you respond to the following 20 questions? 1.Did you ever lose time from work or school due to the stock market? 2.Has the stock market ever made your home life unhappy? 3.Did the stock market affect your reputation? 4.Have you ever felt remorse after trading? 5.Did you ever trade to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties? 6.Did the stock market cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency? 7.After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses? 8.After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more? 9.Did you often trade until your last dollar was gone? 10.Did you ever borrow to finance your trading? 11.Have you ever sold anything to finance trading? 12.Were you reluctant to use "trading money" for normal expenditures? 13.Did the stock market make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family? 14.Did you ever trade longer than you had planned? 15.Have you ever traded to escape worry or trouble? 16.Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance trading? 17.Did the stock market cause you to have difficulty in sleeping? 18.Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to trade? 19.Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of trading? 20.Have you ever considered self destruction or suicide as a result of your trading? If you answered yes to 7 or more of the questions, you may have a problem. By now, you may have realized what I did. I borrowed the 20 questions to identify people with a gambling problem from Gamblers Anonymous ( gamblersanonymous.org ) and substituted the words "stock market", "trading" and "trade" for "gambling" and gamble.
