At this point, I don't think that the bears or shorters have anything to do with the direction of the market. This is all bulls who are getting spooked. At some point we are going to be very thankful for the direction that the shorts provide. They are the ones that provide the cushion and fuel the recovery rally. I agree that greenie has done too much fiddling with the interest rates. I believe that the action we are seeing is akin to when you are driving in the snow and you skid a little bit to one side and then you over correct to the other and the the car slides way out to the other side and then you over correct in that direction and then the car slides right into a ditch.

Well, I had this typed up as a PM, but didn't want to intrude on your space<cool man>..... Dawg, I will be the first to admit, I don't know diddly shit about routers, chips, or anything beyond a key board and a few other things. BUt one thing I have always been good at is knowing sentiment(how people feel, wht's on their minds). I'm a champion chess player. And what got me there is knowing what the other guy was going to do before he did it, and (in chess) setting him up to do it. Secondly, I am good with charts. I'm not being proud or egotistical, I'm just good with them. it's easier than chess! I never in a million years thought I'd be here sitting at a fucking computer(i went to college for english lit and ceramics). I'm a hippy for christ's sake. But that trip died in 95, and now here I am with a family and turning into a capitalist. I'm into the wine a bit, and can't remember what I ment to say cept that I feel, I really feel for those who have been long through all this, but short<no pun> of slapping people in the face, I have been dropping hints that the sentiment is changing. Been that way for over a year. Yes, I was a tad bit early(check some of my Gillette thread posts from last year, that was the trigger for me). Shit, I forgot again I think too much. That is what people have been telling me since sixth grade. Okay, I remember... I am sorry for my antics on the piffer thread earlier today. I'm sorry for the pain that you and my other friends there are going through, and I was hurt that no one would even discuss things with me about this there a few weeks ago. I also think that we will see some serious capitulation tomorrow wit a modest rebound. BUt I don't think it will last. At this point, I think a lot of people will be getting out at any opportunity. I have a lot of thoughts, but I want to share them with the others on the thread. Thatis if I don't pass out soon! P.S> I know you and others wouldn't act on things I say(especially in private) so please, do not change your strategy on what I have just said. Hell, I can't even remember<G> But I'll be rereading it after I send it. That's how I am!
