A clown site I read on occasion is pretty much forecasting a 1987 style crash very soon. Richard Hahn is the kind of guy who lifts his toilet seat each time to check for the bogeyman and has never seen a bounce coming that he didn't hate and despise. I think the market is so well manipulated that if there is any kind of significant retrace it will then be reversed aggressively into the year's end by the 'Dow 10,000 or bust' cartel. Way too much at stake for the mutual industry and for the Wall Struck Shills. This is the year they get to bullhorn the end of the bear and I am prepared to concede that to them. I would never underestimate the length of time they can prop this overvalued degenerecy. Examples abound in history. We may actually get a seasonal programmed selloff into October in line with crowd expectations for weakness during this period. But then we should get a massive and well advertised reversal and moon shot managed by CrapVision and the Fundies. Thus far we have seen time and time again how their well advertised expectations for the Market have become self fulfilling prophecies. Many on this site beleived that we were set to crash last March and that the War Bullhorning then was a sign of a top. Remember? Many missed the Afghan bombing run remember. Many missed last October's seasonal reversal. Remember? Each one of these were clear examples of media managed,self fulfilling Idiot Buying Panics. We live in the Age of the Matrix. If there is anything to be learned from recent history it is that the effectiveness of Market manipulation is at an all time High. Those who do not respect the effects of financial facism are doomed to join Elliot P. in his rooming house on the swampy shores of Jersey. I cannot imagine that the dollar will not be massively defended at its double bottom. Once this happens or there is a false break of that bottom, new Wiley Coyote Shorts should pile in and that should trigger another well managed liquidity injection and all manner of facistic buying in the pits. Sorry for being contrarian. I read this board, I see the hope and the emotion and the leaning towards apocalpse. I see all the charts and 'breakdowns' and well diagrammed comparisons to March 2000. But I have learned never to underestimate the ability of those in power to do what they want. As we speak the political failures of the last 6 months are still being media managed and extended well out over time. Those in power are there for a reason. Power is an addiction for a reason. It renders to an elite few an enormous range of choice and ability to maneuver, prevaricate and distort reality. Wall Street is a primary example of this. Even though he was forced into early retirement, Dicky Grasso still made off with his ludicrously well oiled package and laughed all the way to the bank. Has anyone even attempted to indict or prosecute Kennie Boy? Of course not. Against all logic,reason and sense of rationality, the Market will do basically what the powers that be want it to do. The only short circuiting wild card is a Sigma 10 2nd wave terror attack or some unforseen Mega event. Ain't no chart or line in the world that once crossed will trigger the 3rd Wave so many are looking for, not yet. History tells us the ability of criminal psychopaths to sustain tyrannies is endless and can be multifarious. For how many centuries was the barbarity of the gladiator games played out with immense popularity in Rome. It took them 750 years to finally outlaw it. Never underestimate the depravity that taints crowd psychology or how easily manipulated it is by the modern emperors. Friggin thing is all managed short term. Bears farting all over the news at the close sets up a typical bounce next week. Down into OE usually means up the following week. This per forensic analysis. Flush out weak hands, scare off participants, rob and mug hapless bit players than buy the bottom of the bounce. Set up technical breakdowns everywhere, get Prechter crawling back out thru the woodwork, than body slam him to the concrete when you throw the whole rigged magic act into reverse yet again. Without a Sigma 10 or some sudden revelation, any pull back at this point should be aggressively managed North for a good political close over 10,000 by the Hoods and Operators in my opinion.
