Remember this is the third year of an election cycle like 1999.. Markets always swing too far to either side to screw the most people in the shortest period of time before finally reversing when most everyone is either convinced they were right and fully invested or wiped out betting the wrong side.. Not over for financials and housing by a long shot and hell still to be paid the next leg down. Unfortunately for shorts many large caps like a GE, IBM, Microsoft,Pfizer or Wal Mart are not exactly parabolic or close to being even overvalued can hold the market up longer than most anticipated especially in a weak dollar, low rate, fed cutting environment.. I will be buying puts in financials and homebuilders by the second week of January like a crazed Cramer if the overall market goes parabolic into year end..

Hopefully, the press latches on to the conference being reported that took place prior to Sep Fed meeting by Ben, Rubin, and a bunch of WS fund mgrs. We know the outcome there.

That says it all as to Fed's newfound agenda. More importantly, it says that WS knew the market was ready to collapse and demanded the Fed cut.

And of utmost significance is we now know the mkt will absolutely and without a doubt crumble. Fed cuts will not prevent it. We just need to play it right, because now we know the ultimate outcome here as well.
