Your right of course. The market is sold out. The shares by ratio, fall into a few categories. The biggest category are those contributing volume to hack price lower seeking the yield from the grind. Spending shares to facilitate churn. These pools of shares are available day in and day out but often alternated by batch quantity which compose a moving avg of trade committed vol too directional pools. its all contrivance. where we work, 56,000 shares committed by broker dealer trading department every other day might constitute the entire trade, while investors may step in from time to time, mostly investors are following the programs lower..... if the broker dealers actually had to settle the net balances of accumulated volume used over a year or so....you would really see something...instead we have the applied trend obfuscating price, to facilitate the open orders at avg prices booked by goal seeking trade interests aligned against investor interests. These orders constitute the lions share of broker dealer income in the present. spending inventory to shape price is the primary prevailing methodology day in and day out. Also at the root of SEC omissions from completing their own mission statement.....all floats are relative constants....spending shares never located, to facilitate churn is little more than opportunistic systems, serving self interest, enabled by regulators run amok of their own mission statements.

"...and a sold out public" Maybe. I know alot of folks, sitting on alot of losses, and few have sold anything. They listen to financial tv and the gurus who tell them 'it's too late to sell.' They shoulda sold obviously, but then when would they get back in?... Needless to say, they've been buying financials and GE etc the whole way down... Is this it? Bear market bottom? Beats me, but hardly registers on the fear/panic meter - maybe that's a good thing. A quiet retest followed by a stealth rally may be the last thing folks expect here...
