  • So what! Is that supposed to mean buy this flotsam and jetsam? You at best may have a short term "contra trend" rally setting up. But it will be shallow and used to sell into. This is a treacherous market, you don't need to be in any market all the time.
    When this bear growls, the "RIP" to the downside is going to be epic. Don't play with this bear.
