Options Trader: Outlook for a Testy Tuesday

What's amazing that the market goes up the ladder one step and then takes 2 steps down. It keeps repeating the same defeating behavior. Its called a bear market. Lower lows...

Bad Mortgages Are Only the Beginning

There is no end to this. Asset bases being wiped off and lost forever. Real Estate once a wealth building tool, is now shunned and detested. Its a millstone around once neck. Actually buying real estate is considered a very unhealthy activity.

Its basically a change in attitude on the part of consumer. Consumers are negative and it feeds to their misery and they pull the temple down.

Destruction of Wealth?

Americans have lost huge chunks of money in terms of net worth. Lack of values in real estate and sharp drops in stocks have wiped off the best asset base there is. Than came the obliteration of 401Ks, pension plans, IRAs and money market funds. To top this all off people are using savings to pay expenses since incomes have plummeted. This is a downward spiral very negative very disturbing. I have never seen it this bad.

Is the End of the Crisis Near?

Market may have put a bottom here. It seems that way. Fed rate cuts have so far put an end to vicious sell offs in the past. This may be the catalyst that the market may be looking. Watch next 2 days what happens here.
