I bet we get another bull trap or two!

I agree. *IF* this is the start of a bear market, we will surely get bull traps. That said, I decided to pull out a long-term (OK, 5 yrs, but that's long-term these days) Dow chart. The trendline (log chart) looks like it runs to around 8300 right now (just eyeballing it), so a 10% correction would leave that intact. At that point, if we don't blow right through of course, I'll wait for some real evidence of a recession.

Ouch, we're getting quite a bounce now.

BB, it's not a matter of "bravery" just some research and logic reasoning. Time will tell.

As to the upside potential a 10% to 20% percent gain will make "very happy" May be I leave the IRA position run longer than several days. <ggg>
