And yet it’s all still so orderly, that’s what get’s me. Evidently this market still wants to continue bearing on down lower and lower from here. Why haven’t we seen a resounding meltdown this past week or two? At least then there’d be some justification for bottom-fishing or holding-on. But no… It’s still a fool’s market, plain and simple. Which I guess means the fools still have some money to be parted from.
