All what you say is true- and is thus discounted already by the market. The beast will rise when all seems to be lost.

I agree and if you do not think I am more than a little scared you are nuts. That manipulative DISTRIBUTIONAL rally (is there any doubt now) we had the past 3 days had some here buying far too early. After they forced CSCO and CIEN back to max pain, I am sure simple hedging strategies have them covered. That said, I believe greed and irrational fear of missing the bottom, or wanting to get in on the bottom, are likely to have the desired affect. Most of the LTBHers simply are not going to sell now, no matter what. The funds, "proably" diustributed what they needed to on those 3 days. I think they can manipulate this back up on smaller volume and profit once again. That is the GREED factor. If they really want to be greedy they cam manipulate us way over max pain value, to crash us far below max pain at the April expiry manipulation party. If they want to manipulate a rally I am ready cause I just went long. Will they? How the hell do I know but it seems likely. ZEEV, WS, and I (not that my opinion matters cause I am new to this game) all seem to think a rally is called for. I disagree with the turnips as to the length of this rally however. 1) I will take reasonable profits if we have a big runup from here to Thursday, and if so may just cash out all calls. If not, I think I will just ride them out an hope for the best. If we only have a moderate rise through options expiry I may decide to hold for a FOMC runup. Right wrong or indifferent I will likely bail just before the news and wait to see how things settle. Zeev has strength here for about a month. This nervous nelly will cash out on or before the 20th FOMC meeting. I am hoping for a blow off top on the DOW in early April and if that happens, I will go nuclear short NYSE stocks. That is my current plan of action. Unlike Hank & Greg, I see little long term good in prices at this level. M
