Yea,

if you can't nail it on the head every time you should just let go of the rope and give it up, besides the Clown Killers will get you anyway for missing one every now and then. What's this get away for a while crap? You've been laying on your ass for about six weeks now, what do you want, egg in your beer?

three major league factors hurt us:
1. huge margin debt (largest in history)
2. coming off Y2K rally (largest in history)
3. several successive Fed rate hikes (just like 1994)

Current margin debt is 1.5% in 1929 it was 9.1%, rally not over, Fed to slow. Institutional selling killed us review 1997 charts April low with October high. I think this will be more reflective going forward.
