It has to either go flat or upwards, otherwise every market would hit zero in a month.

A few of us HPCers have had a whip round and have offered to buy the banks!
The success or failure of your deeds does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intention of your actions and by the strength you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.

The people closest to you have been trying to tell you that you have made a difference. That you did change things for the better. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing that we can ever truly control - whether we are good or evil.

The political triumph of the American Right has been to advance relentlessly the economic interests of the country's richest people, while emphasising a swath of moral, social and foreign policy issues that motivate and certainly distract middle-class and poor voters.

This rally could be enormous: "10, 20 - 30% in only a few days"

Sell, sell, sell.

buy, buy, buy.

No.

Sell, erm, or buy, or neither.

I hope so, I put in £21K this week when it dipped below 3600. I'm hoping for another bear rally to 4000+ and then I can sell up and wait for the next drop if it ever comes.

VMR.
I'm either clever or stupid but haven't worked out which yet.

I think it will bounce. The markets have a herd mentality, so if it goes up, a few more people will join tomorrow, and a few more will join on Thursday etc etc. Lots of investors wait in the wings and then panic when they think they might miss the bottom, and up she goes again. People go from having lost all hope to having hope they could actually make a fortune.

The market has droped from 14k to 6.5k remember, it could bounce by quite a bit. My money is on a bounce - I mean that literally too.

This is what I'm thinking:

IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE!

We get Citi giving less worse than expected results (i.e., not good) and all of a sudden the market goes off on one!

Imo this bounce will last only until the next piece of bad news.

The FTSE will hit 3200 before it hits 4200 and UK house prices will hit £100,000 before they hit £200,000
again. imo.
