I love the smell of napalm in the morning. If this doesn't cause margin selling and capitulation, I don't know what will.

I was fuming right along with you at the time, and fully agree with you. It was overdone. To use an analogy, when people are trying to lose weight, one of the things they should do is force themselves to eat SLOWER. This way, their brain gets the message that they're full before the stomach is overloaded. Effect is that you eat less. Here, the overdone cuts were like eating too fast. Before the "brain" could get the message 6 months hence, the damage had already been done. The principal difference is that the market has been decimated, whereas, in the weight analogy it would be heavier than a sumo wrestler.
