JCP, Unfortunately I have to agree with that. And, that may mean another powerful lesson for J6P, ala the tech crash (btw, they got me too in the tech crash). And I also agree that they can't control the news everyday, but they certainly try, everyday. GT TH

"the stock market may tick down, but it will ALWAYS go UP later" It sure seems to be the pattern. We're like therapists, watching a patient (Wall Street) with bipolar disorder. The patient can't see nor remember their 2 forms of extreme behavior, but we do, from our perspective. We want the patient to take their medicine and accept reality, but the patient doesn't like taking the medicine, and it doesn't really work very well anyway. The way this bear has found to ride it: 1. Know where we are in the manic-depressive market cycle (it's pretty obvious right now) 2. After the "tick downs" - take your profits and run. You know the "Always go up" part is going to come again. 3. When the markets' movement are so absurd that it seems your investment strategy is fundamentally flawed - it's time to move back in, as the "tick down" is probably coming soon. 3. Accept that the market has a "disease" that we can't control. 4. Stay close to the SI message boards when the overt manipulation is at its worst. Good trading everyone Saves
