JS, What about the 'LONG POSITION'? So it is down to $41! If you don't have to sell, it doesn't matter if it drops to $20! The fundamental manufacturing process that DELL uses is still intact and I haven't seen a reason to 'bail' yet. I bought my last at 45 13/16, before it dropped to ~$41, but it closed ~$48 and is predicted to gap up this morning. IMHO, the secret is to invest with money that you can afford to sit on while this market shakes out. Again, IMHO, the MoMos are shaking the weak hands, and buying in at these levels, a little at a time so as to keep the market at the low while loading up. The little investor is selling either at the bottom or just above feeling lucky to get out, and taking the position not to get in again. The MoMos are getting in, as are the institutional investors, and the market will rise! The little investor will watch 'on the sidelines' until convinced that the market is truly going up. Is that a 10 or 20 point rise that they will miss before they are convinced the recovery is real. If one is 'just trading' issues, selling one stock and buying another at these depressed prices, that may make some sense. Have to wait and see how the market responds! Regards, Ken PS - If you are options trading, the time may be now to make those predictions based on your experience. In my accounts, I can't do that yet, so I have no experience. Check to LoD or some of the others.

The only theory I have to see the market going down is that Europe is rallying because of the UK interest rate cut. Well that could explain UK but not much else. Their currencies have gone up against the dollar which is deflationary... This Tiger Investment thing isn't important I think. They haven't lost much of their capital. Bit like Soros losing $2 billion earlier in the year. The Yen appreciation is bad news for the Japan situation - deflationary.

Still alot of room on the down side. In bull market psychology estimates are rosy ( even when the ground is turning to quick sand), and not until your chin starts going under do most investors start to worry about their next breath. Real panic hasn't set in yet, and neither has rational valuations for the current market conditions, ...watch gold stocks when they really take off, that is in my mind a signal we have a bottom in a panic market. IMHO, that is when valuations will be overly pessimistic, prices will be much more risk adverse, and sanity will once again be close at hand. Good luck DELLers...and you fisty brokers. P.S. have you called your small investors yet????
