Well, you have one thing going for you. There could only be 19 more days like today if they all came one after the other. I agree with you that the faster the drop, the quicker the bear is over. That is for normal bear markets. This is no normal bear market. This is as bad as the bear that started in 1929 or worse, we don't know that yet. The $700 Bil package may work and it may not work, that remains to be seen. Didn't the bear that started in 1929 last about 11 years? They say this bear started one year ago, so my 2012 bear ending may be optimistic, but I like to look at the brighter side. It is just my nature to be optimistic. LOL.
