You will likely get a 2 to 5 day rally but no confident move up until there is evidence that the bottom is in, so take a break. <BR/><BR/>Let the idiots try to predict a bottom based on VIX and oversold indicators, which are totally worthless in this kind of market. The VIX would be at all time highs and indicators would be oversold in a nuclear attack as well, would you buy in then? <BR/><BR/>There are a lot of well known companies open for business that are silent about being bankrupt. <BR/><BR/>It’s all about Retained Earnings and not Borrowed Money.

Some are saying the Dow could overshoot down to 4000 before it's done because some buy and hold LT investors haven't "capitulated" yet. <BR/> <BR/>http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122368241652024977.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897456774486153841.post-36759512148250142192008-10-11T13:37:00.000-07:002008-10-11T13:37:00.000-07:00Hi Andrew,The high readings suggests that a bottom...Hi Andrew,<BR/><BR/>The high readings suggests that <I>a</I> bottom is near, but not necessarily in as of Friday. I would be more confident if we could get at least one day of the VIX closing below the previous day's close or perhaps even just closing below the same day's open. Better yet would be a VIX below the previous day's low.<BR/><BR/>The VIX is more of a temperature gauge than a diagnostic at this stage and it needs to see fear and panic turn the corner. At one point on Friday the SPX was up and the VIX was still up over 10% for the day.<BR/><BR/>My best guess is that the next bottom is likely to be an intermediate-term bottom, but not necessarily the long-term bottom everyone is hoping for.<BR/><BR/><I><B>The</B></I> (LT) bottom will require some positive macroeconomic news, a thawing of the credit markets, some signs of stability (i.e., slow down in hedge fund deleveraging) and an uptick in investor confidence. Until then, I expect to see an elevated VIX -- though not necessarily one that holds current levels.<BR/><BR/>I'll have a lot to say about all this and more next week.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>-BillBill Lubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241003017364820134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897456774486153841.post-74927344720487109922008-10-11T11:27:00.000-07:002008-10-11T11:27:00.000-07:00We have been discussing the high vix readings on m...We have been discussing the high vix readings on myinvestorsplace.com ...members have stated in theory ...this should be a sign of a bottom...but can't we just waterfall?
