well, obviously it isn't ... and until we see a return to seasonality, finding a "bottom" is nothing more than a mugs game.
-- also noted in bull markets both Fridays and Mondays are usually positive days.....what we're seeing now is just the opposite.
that said, I stopped out last Friday morning, full load of cash, waiting for the next buying opp--and like I was saying in my previous post; if I can't make money (at will, like I use to do) then I'm outta here, probably for good, or return sometime after 2012, say January 2, 2013--if I'm still here (physically) to play the tax-loss game.
