Yup, my bet is a slow-motion crash. A real market crash on Monday seems too obvious. So my guess is just a "bad" week, followed by more "bad" weeks. When the totals are finally counted people will suddenly realize they've been through a crash and that they're a lot poorer, sparking a bear frenzy. Easier to boil the frog that way. I guess this scenario simply because the psychological conditioning (buy on dips, the market always goes up) will take a long while to erase. But then again, what do I know. I'm just an otter.
