Introduction Compact
"...and you can call it "fall" if that's what you please, but I say I like "bottoms"!..." - Barney, the Purple Dinosaur

Substitute "bottom" for "autumn" in the song, and we have it all in a nutshell!

Each time the market pops, the bears try to pick a top. Each time the market dips, the bulls try to pick a bottom. As traders, we know that this is the ultimate game of chicken, but it doesn't stop us from trying, does it? Even if it is just for fun!

In the spirit of anti-trend trading, we invite anyone and everyone to give it their best shot at picking the next top or bottom, in any time frame, for the market, any stock or commodity, using whatever method is available in their arsenal. To keep up with our educational theme, we thank you in advance for sharing any insight into your techniques or rationale for bottom or top picking!

**This is a FUN thread where we all SHAMELESSLY pick tops and bottoms! No need to defend or attack!
