Mike,

Difficult to say. If you are long at say 12 or 15 and held on would you sell
now? Or, would you sell now if you thought buying at 7 or 8 was a good entry
point?

Recently volume has not been very high. This tends to suggest that most of the
panick selling is over. There may be still some institutional selling left, but
even there the holdings have fallen. Hence, most of the activity maybe by day
traders and shorters with quiet buying by long-term investors.

We may be treading water for some time, but a big sell-off will only come if
the 4th and 1st qtr are clearly well below expectations and then substantially
below. We all know it won't be good so unless the light at the end of the tunnel
is another train, it must be daylight.
