I am not so surprised. Look at the bulls v. bears numbers. The number of bullish investment advisers is at a 16-month high!

This market will NOT bottom until there is a lot of wild, indiscriminate selling (along with stories of people jumping out of windows -- and this time it will be for real). So many sins have been committed during the past two years or so and the whole of next year will be "payback time".

However, if we survive the bear (and that is becoming a bigger "if" every day), we might be looking at one of the best buying opportunities in the last 2 or 3 decades....

Re: NYSE November margin figures of $219B,

I imagine most of that is long side (some short)

I think it would have to be 100% long side, since one doesn't borrow money to sell short (stock is borrowed, and it is done in a margin account of course, but there is no borrowing of money, no debit balance -- in fact, shorting produces a cash credit balance)
