Vol Retail investor is scared No kidding! As for rallys or year end runs or the like there has to coame a time when we have to recognize that this is not a normal correction. It is one of those once in a lifetime crashs that we all hoped we'd never see. Well here it is and it isn't going away. There isn't the least part in a trillion that there is any evidence that this crash is anywhere near a bottom. We've been hoping against hope for eight months and it has all been in vain. Best regards, L

Only problem with your scenario, V, is, where are the houses going to get the liquidity to move the markets? Not from the retail investor. I doubt if many of them will come back for many years, just as they stayed away in the 70s. And institutions rely on retirement funds and corporate investments. Not the strongest sources these days either. With the election mess and the latest Fed misreading, I am once again leaning towards a hard landing. Only positive I see is that I have been wrong so often lately, that I'm sure that I am wrong this time as well.
