Although I feel very concerned, one should not discount the prior strength exhibited by this bull run. My bearishness has been fueled by a growing anxiety over asset devaluation and its potential impact on credit quality and forward consumer spending patterns. Bears should be wary of a continued fall in interest rates providing an underpinning to stocks and valuation models used by Wall Street firms. Also watch out for numerous stock repurchase announcements which similarly occurred a few days after Oct.19, 1987. The volatility will continue...and so will the risk.

Hi Bill,,,Well, I got off early today,,about 3.30,<g>,,,not sure what I saw , and still trying to figure it out,, but one thing seems to stand out,,these so called circuit breakers , appeared to become targets, and therefore , self fulfilling, when the right amount of fear was added,,,buyers refused to commit out of shear fear of being locked in, and sellers bonked any bid for the same reasons,,,this is definitly a new wrinkle in trading the market,,,perhaps it was getting too easy...NOT cheers,,russell
