Magician, saying that do you believe a bottom is in place?
No, I'm pretty sure I was just being sarcastic.

I'll check to make sure.

Yup, I was just being sarcastic.

I think the market could be rallying on these expected events over the next couple months:

-Automaker bailout
-Mortgage rate intervention
-Massive Obama stimulus package ($1 trillion isn't out of the question)
-Fed funds rate cut to 0.50-0.25%
-Continued liquidity injections
-More bailouts as necessary
Ever heard of ricardian equivalence..

Cash I shall stay...
That is the truest thing anyone has ever said in this thread.

This market is WAY too difficult to game.

Well, some people are calling it a Bull market because we were up 20% from Nov lows.

I'm barely trading in my personal account. I bought some FCX after they cut the dividend but besides adjusting ultra short positions I haven't done much trading. The only time I buy is when we touch october/etc. lows.
