I feel your pain. I covered my AMZN short today. I also took some profits in some gold longs, waiting to reload if/when HUI 402 and XAU 173.5 are taken out with some conviction. It's pretty clear the Fed made a huge mistake with the half point cut, the economy just wasn't that weak, outside of real estate and mortgage related finance. So the rest of us will pay with a weaker dollar, imported inflation and 100 clownbuck oil.

Seriously, can we possibly put off this recession AGAIN? We haven't had a goddamned consumer recession since 1990 - we're talking 17 YEARS without the consumer backing off. Unbelievable. Two days in a row with essentially zero sales at our store. It's got to start somewhere I guess.

Seriously, can we possibly put off this recession AGAIN? No we can't. But that doesn't mean the market has to go down. If the clownbuck keeps going down plenty of stocks can keep going up. Just ask Zimbabwe. It was living in Michigan that allowed me to ride the homies down. I knew what was happening here was going to happen everywhere in the good ole USA. Michigan is now in a DEPRESSION. There are RE auctions everywhere. Virtually no RE is selling. There may still be a few decent paying jobs here, but they are disappearing. When most kids finish college they leave or accept lower paying jobs. The State is BANKRUPT. The legislators may not know it yet, but the stopgap measure they just passed isn't going to cut it. They actually just raised income taxes and extended the 6% sales tax to many services. That's a way to make things better? UFB. What I'm seeing here is exactly what's headed to the rest of the country. Is it possible the market will rally throughout it? Sure it is. Just be prepared for $20 gas.

bobcor, Your post really struck a chord with me. In the past few years, and especially in the past 16 months, I have shared the same frustration with this irrational market. I have no solution. Only that I am so frightened that they will do the wrong thing and suck every last dime from the system, that I choose not to play the side that I know must be correct. It is madness. I wish you the best of luck. GT TH

Your market exposure Bobcor: Just a word of advise. At your young age, you better learn to be more objective about listening to market signals rather than your own subjective thinking. The market is smarter than any of us. After many decades of trading the market, I have learned the most important step is to be on the right side of the market: Should I be Buying on Dips OR Selling on Rallies? pcyhuang
