Sure, why have a different mindset when the market is protected? The Fed just allowed a 10% correction by not printing for a while, but it looks like they are certainly trying to correct that mistake by other means. The market will only drop, and extremely fast, once all the Fed's actions become irrelevant. So far inject some liquidity - and the market floats. All the bad news out there have been irrelevant for a very long time, the market just keeps floating on injected liquidity and enormous leverage, and more liquidity is injected when it stumbles a bit I have all kinds of silly numbers for the DOW. -g- This time it may have been the ECB, not the Fed, who saved the markets. The key reason is when the stock market breaks down, so will the Fed "system", and they are protectors of that. We are back to synthetic derivatives-based trading, no more wild swings -g-

totally agree. since i'm ranting and i've had my double latte coffee enema this morning i want to add that i never was a permabear, i'm a contrarian, i just thought a market wide correction from time to time MIGHT be a healthy thing. up till now we've had at most nothing more than 1-2% "crashes" that never last and a continuous stream of negative news that constantly constantly grinds the market up further and further against a wall of worry.... i think the bears big mistake was somehow believing that they were being contrarian but really only being manipulated by the PPT, shined on by an 'industry' of negative news peddlers and conspiracy junkies all holding hands on places like SI. why it never occured to me that if they actually are making financial products that short the market you probably should think twice about shorting yourself or buying short funds. box u warned me about QID so it's not like NOBODY didn't tell me so.......... whatever. only thing that matters is conviction and pulling the trigger.
