Seriously, Blitz, look at Feb. 27 selloff. Just a 150-200 DOW points decline during that day was enough to kick off selling in the futures related to program trading. This is not 87, the market is leveraged to the hilt, too many fundies are selling options for income. It works until it doesn't. Emboldened by Feb. 27 dip, they have put on a lot more leverage. Portfolio insurance in 87 was peanuts compared to this, it is 500 times LTCM stuff. This market just can't decline peacefully -g- Now, all bears are talking hyperinflation and "Fed control". They are long gold shares, not short the market. Bulls are long too, of course. Traders? They will swing, they are hedge funds -g- But yeah, da music will keep playing until it stops, BK will arrive WITHOUT WARNING.
