there are lots of way to play -- I don't mind trying to pick a top with a high reward, though there is slim chance of getting it right -- esp. if I can spread bets among 3 - 4 choices adequately spaced (yes, that's the hard part) and cut the loss when it's obvious I am wrong (decent stops needed for that -- or use options to minimize loses).

market has been trading in a way I have not seen in some time, that is dipicting liquidity issues. This is, in my opinion of the sure sign of a HUGE move to come. I have no idea which way it will break, my view as with most of you is that it will be up. I am 60/40 though and not thourghly convinced. There is something different in the trading of the last week or two that gets me to think there is a change of trend. I will say on the bull side is BIG down days in gold like today usially preface a BIG up move within 1-2 trading days. Just another stooopit observation.

Tops are always be more difficult to call than bottoms, the investment bankers can manipulate tops , better than they can bottoms. ---- I don't see How I can explain the manipulation I see in words that others would accept. I will say that steep sell offs just don't happen, as only about 1% of retail investors are trading on any given day, and they don't all dive for cover at the same time like some frightened school of fish. --- Jim PS with this bond fiasco when the market does start down the next time I'l be damm If I would buy the dip..not until I see panic in the VIX..
