  The content of the Barron's article and SeekingAlpha's headline are mismatched. The article was a collection of tidbits, but the parts related to bottom fishing could be summarized to say "If you are going to bottom fish, do it systematically rather than by gut impulse."

  Gut impulse is more appropriate to selection of numbers when contributing to a state's revenues via a lottery.

  Kudos to the author for pointing out that the bears' calls for a sub-600 S&P are no less speculative than the calls of a bottom. The difference is that the bottom-callers are mocked relentlessly (and rightfully so), while the bears are generally given a free pass.

  best line in article...
  "It's fair to assume that plenty of folks were wishing for a rally, half-expecting one after such a straight-line drop, but "most" by definition weren't actively positioning for one despite how it might appear by tracking televised opinionators."
  
  Funny though, this article named exchanges, a few asset managers and one insurance co. Are we to trust these self promotions?

  There is no meat to this story, only fish bones. Shame on you Santoli.
