After the fact, the folks that called it right, will take their bows, even though it will be nothing but pure luck that they nailed it on the head. The ONLY one that knows what the market will do....is, well....mr. market...... Man, at my full service broker, which I rarely use, my broker is a VP and top dog in the southeast. Every month for like 2 years now, I get a monthly letter saying "we always have had bad times and the best time to invest is now, when things are the worst"....yea, well I've been getting that same letter forever now, and all the market does is go down more and more and more......so, these people have no clue at all as to what will happen or when with the market........I still stand by my assumption however, that the lower we go, the safer it is to buy...would I be "worried" if I got to by beas at $4...or if naz gets whacked to 500?? No way...I'd be buying and just think..... those triple q's will look awfully safe at about $5 or $6, IF things got that bad......now at 1300, it's a crucial period for mr. naz....does it break thru and head higher, or head towards the 1000 level......I just kind of think if we do rally, people will be quick to take profits and shorts will be quick to jump back in....until we sustain a rally, burn the shorts, and convince the traders it's now time to hold your stock for a nice run, rather then ditch it every day, looking to scalp a few bucks, we will probably be sideways...but if we can sustain a ralley, and burn those shorts, I think people may start holding stocks rather then trading them everyday, which could be good for another nice jump...but, like pbull says.....nobody has a clue, and we wont know until after it happens, how it all turns out...good luck to all
