A fellow being interviewd on BTV that appeared pretty sharp, said he was just at a conference in Europe of money managers yada yada, and the prevailing view is that Hedge Fund FORCED SELLING will NOT end until EOY and this will lead to vicious volatilty, where Hedge Funds will sell feircely into every bounce.
That hedge redemption requests have been so HUGE they have not been able to sell right away and are now carrying a signigant backlog that can't be cleared except in waves.
This because if thy cleared their backlog all at once the markets would utterly and totally collapse.
He therefore sees no ACTUAL bear rally until 2009 but just wild volatility where one need sell all bounce rallies.

i have a post on Epic thread of hearing an interview from Barton Biggs, he has NEVER been darker in his view.
i tell why he said that in my post. Max
