Gee, new feedback... Was wondering when that would happen. No doubt several folks have been put off by the age of the previous posts. I also think I'll change it so my editorial comments are a different color and stand out from the posting a bit more than the italics do. (Followup: So that's exactly what I did.)

Don't know what fools were out there buying stocks today, but I guess I'll thank them on the short term 'cause it's been a while since anything turned green. Still volume was pathetic, and as one wire service reported "everybody and their uncle is trying to call the bottom on this one". But hang on folks because this is just like the horror flicks. Just when everybody is hugging because the bad guy got a mortal wound and is lying motionless, he comes back swinging an axe and the show lasts another fifteen minutes until they finish him off. Any positive news - if it comes at all; is still 2-3 weeks out and we've already seen what kind of carnage can happen in three weeks...
