possible scenarios-- #1 florida surpreme court upholds secretary of state on monday, very likely #2 hand counts are allowed to go on, dems know how many votes they need, and "surprisingly" "find" just enough to offset bush's 930 vote lead, if that happens, how can any court say that is an equal counting of the vote, you would have to hand count all the votes, a nightmare for the market, could kick us into recession, possible #3 courts rule that while hand counting is permissble, there are so many incidents of abuse and fraud, that an accurate recount is impossible, inherently unfair and unworkable, possible #4 gore realizes he is going down a slipery slope and ruining his chances to ever be elected again, and concedes, not likely the only chance this market has is for #1 to happen, anything else, and we are locked in increasing downtrend, the other bad news is, if we get #1, we get our "relief" rally, and it melts like springtime snow as we are back to reality facing slowing growth, slowing earnings, with no help from the fed, ultimately, this market is for scalping only, both ways, as we remained locked in downward channel until fed gives us relief, money market looking better all the time, you simply cant turn your back on a profit and must limit your losses as assets can melt away very quickly in this scenario we are in the middle of the longest october in history!! we need to break this impasse soon!! im 60% hopeful florida supreme court will recognize this and do the right thing monday, if not, it is not too late to sell!! call me long and dumb (at this point) the shorts have looked brilliant the last 3 months, i know this will turn at some point again, and markets will come back, but there is no incentive to be early its survival time (glad i got a day job)
