I am no longer sure that I know what capitulation looks like - lately it is like the chupacabra, I tell everyone that I have seen it, but no one believes me...
Once we break through the 2002 lows, the markets will find ourselves on a long journey to DJIA 2000. It has happened before. It can happen again. Then we will know what capitulation truly is.
The intent of this blog is to educate, inform and entertain readers, while also serving as an archived learning laboratory of sorts as I try to sharpen my thinking in areas such as volatility, market sentiment, and technical analysis. I also enjoy charging off on tangents and hope that readers may find some illumination or at least amusement in these forays.

hasn't every day in the past 3 weeks looked like that? maybe this is just what a crash looks like ...
We are in uncharted waters here...

Looking earlier than 2002, we are into 1998 territory, when the DOW broke through 8000 for the first time.
