The VIX is at an all time high. I think we open much lower, but actually bottom today. I'm back in, fully invested.

Lehman CDS at 9.75%. Not to good. This is a text book bottom though. I love the signs here.

Warren Buffet just became the richest American. He added $8 Billion to his already $50 Billion in 33 days to overtake Bill Gates who held the title for 15 years. Nice.

i am looking for a double bottom invester.

and that may (should) be tested a third time.

i am also looking for oil to drop more.

oil is 80-81 right now. that IMO is the high end of the trading range it needs to be in for the markets to stabilise.

Down 350 now. If this stays low everybody better watch after 3pm. Could be another selloff! Why hold stocks thru the weekend when no rally was seen? Not me talking just what I think people will start thinking as we near the close. Of course the opposite would be true if we can start climbing!! But the closer we get to the close the more concern I would have.

I picked support at 7,500. Either way i would like to see at least a decent double bottom as Glass suggested.

I have put protection on some. Earnings are now at 10% on S&P. We have the bailout, global interest rate cut, and plummeting commodities. Couple all of that with the over 40% drop in the Industrial average, and the sharp sell off yesterday, as well as the open. I like double and triple bottoms as well as the rest, but the down side risk is anemic compared to the massive upturn we are going to have shortly.

We are always the contrarians, and never forward looking until it’s too late. I've been bearish for more than a year, and know a good thing when I see it.

No risk no reward. So far so good. And there is certainly plenty of room for going up. I won't mind missing bottom to wait till next week for putting back in some of my TSP (govt 401k).
Good luck invester!

I wouldn't be so sure this is the Real Bottom! This was the worst one week decline in the history of the DOW for a reason....things are worse than most know...and the media has be reporting doom & Gloom for weeks now...so what does that say??? The market is damned!!!

If anyone does decide to go bottom fishing, average in over several days....as you should always do any way...but especialy with this market!

LOL

Dead Cat Bounce IMO. Financial Markets around the world are not out of the sh-tter. I believe that there is more downside coming.

Average folks can not get credit.

Day-swing trade only here, IMO.

A 5000 DJI would not surprise me in another month.

Those "invester"s that lost a bunch in the past few months that get back in the market now are only going to lose more, IMO.

If I am wrong. Well, I'll bet my posting life at Allstocks on it.

Good luck...

It might be about time to grab my gun, and cling to religion in the up and coming year.

It looks like mirrors up until 10 min. ago. The NCC buyout should be out any day this week.
