That's elephants selling not little guys. I think the elephants are in panic mode, which is not a good sign. James, It seems the elephants are being run by young and less experienced people. I suspect these managers have no more ability to handle the market than we and this change to inexperienced hands has caused a lot of volatility. I doubt many of the young money managers really knew there was a bubble and they also seem to panic. I have nothing agains youth but experience is very important in certain occupations. I believe most of the current money managers were not in the market in 1987 much less the early 1970s.
