The quick pop was soft money trying to make a buck. The quick drop was long term holders holding hard money. The market has the flu and is really sick.

West, my mentor at BSCO once gave me these rules:

1) Speculative sector falls (biotech, b2b, wireless, etc).

2) Perpetuates panic selling in large cap names (CSCO, ORCL, etc), as people try to conserve "profit." In the meantime, people thinking that stocks are "cheap" come in only to get their asses kicked further.

3) Speculative stocks get crushed further due to blue chip names falling and margin calls...

4) Blue chip names reverse, carry market up...
a) Stocks begin to fall again, but a bottom is confirmed...

5) Slow rally...

6) Fast rally...

7) Mania, Euphoria...

8) Go back to step 1.

Right now we just started Step 2.

True, but still way too broad. When are these wimps gonna say what they are doing? I just want everybody on this thread to remember that the analysts are your enemy in the future. Just don't forget it. Fund managers....well, they are a desperate bunch of fools in my opinion. Somebody needs to tell these people....look, you manage your funds....we'll manage ours. You all need to quit watching CNBC, reading biased articles, and quit listening these so called analysts and their opinions and foollow your own hearts. Most everybody on this thread is smart enough tto know when a stock is overvalued or undervalued. Do what YOUR hearts tell you to and stop worrying about what these analysts are saying. They aren't paying your bills......you are.
