500 points on nasdaq in one day? ROFLMAO! That's more than the dow went down in 1987 in one day percentage wise. That would take us to under the 1998 lows and I bet there would be big buy programs come right in at the low nasdaq hit in 1998 preventing a 500 point day on nasdaq again. What would happen to the dow if that happened? If nasdaq went down that much, it would be msft that led the way, since it's the biggest cap in the index and the dow wouldn't survive either. Probably take the dow back to 7400 again.

Sept. is going to see a big selloff. When the selling starts and everyone starts heading for the door, it will be hard to stop it. G.E. to $19. That should tell you where all the rest will be. Cash is king! JMHO! ;>)))!!!

I have a feeling that this bear is going to be a slow bleed. The dramatics are over. I know everyone wants there to be this big capitulations that signals the end of the bad stuff, but I think it will continue to drift down to sideways for the next 9 months. I do think that money can be made by buying in October, selling in Jan-Feb, buying in April, then selling in July-Aug. Then maybe going long next October. Not sure. I'll have to play this one touch and go for the next 9 months.

Hi Jake, I enjoy reading your interpretations of the market. Thank you for sharing what I believe to be sound observations.Of course I like what you're saying cause we agree.gggg I too really want to be one of the few who has cash at the bottom - it would be a wonderful confirmation of an incredibly long period of holding back looking for timing cues. I'm hoping we are blessed with a capitulation rather than a trough.Capitulations are scary and I recognize them buy my counting my losses and perspiration at my arm pits.gggg Trough are just tough. Bob
