Harker, to a large extent, this is Z's board, and IMO he has a strong influence on the general "mood" here. If he happens to be wrong, the board is also likely to be "wrong".
BTW, I appreciate your posts - especially those which do not contain yahoo-like crap :). There were a few in a row (g).
You sound like you're trying to convince yourself that rally won't occur. You haven't given us any logical reasons to confirm your prediction. The Bull market may be over considering the negative divergence of new highs along with the expansion of new lows but the trading party is far from over. I understand you want respect for you so called market call but the truth is, many of us saw it coming also. It didn't take rocket science to put all the parts of the puzzle together to see a developing picture. Myself and many others here went into cash way ahead of the crowd yet we continued to day trade. I even recall you posting some trades while you were talking nose dive. The bottom line is even if the general market tanks further, most of us will still find a trade. The key is protecting yourself. To me that component comes first. Many of us go home at the end of the day heavy in cash during times like this because its simply the most logical thing to do.
