Message 8484516 I usually go against the crowd, but if you are not somewhat of a contrarian you really can't call yourself a trader. Sitting on the sidelines through down markets are fine but then you are really only trading in 'up' market and that is easier. Today when the threads become 'coffee houses' for lack of ideas, thats when its the most challenging and possibly the most profitable. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Tomorrow will be volatile. Generally a big increase in volatility after such a big decline will be a sign that the market bottomed. Could be down big in the morning and that's when I'll be deciding to go with the index option calls and/or some more internet call options. The first hour will be like a giant hosedown with drenched 'investors' making their wild race towards the exits all the while bargain-hunting 'traders' moving in and methodically picking up some stock at 'reductions'. That is when the buying is the most profitable.. Of course allowances have to be made in case the retreat lasts longer than that, but I doubt it will.
