Morning Maestro, Agreed that we will have an opportunity fairly soon, the question is when. I'm sorta hanging out, with no intentions of jumping in right now, I mean why try to catch a falling knife. I want to see a day with massive volume - like 3 bill or something on the Naz, and a key reversal with a follow through the next day. Am not concerned about missing out on the bottom or whatever... like who cares about missing a few points... Bought a lot in the last dive - some of those buys are even profitable at the moment - like RMBS at 38 - but have a feeling that we will be seeing those levels again and this time intend to watch a bit more closely and be patient... Agree with JW that the Fed managed the brake in a ham fisted way, and crashed the car at the same time, and I want to see what they are going to do next - I don't trust them much but since I can't do much about it, I intend to play along with them - they start cutting rates, I start buying - its as simple as that... (might buy something before that, but only on the key reversal scenario - and then only 1/3rd at a time - been burnt way too badly these last few months on key reversals to be too adventurous at this point...grin) Regards as always...
