OMG. This kind of posts are a clear sign, that nothing is over, yet.
Just like all the posts that kept coming in when the bubble burst saying it was just a minor setback...
Expect overshoot from the bears. You're afraid, I know.
sgbett, are you a day trader? Because if not, then c'mon dude. Even you have to realize that high volume spikes are not the only signal that a bottom is found, you need to have sustained and/or rising volume over a long period of time (weeks and weeks).
I'm not touching this market again until I see we can even stay above 200 consistently for several months. Been burned before 6 months ago, not getting burned again. Plus, in the US people sell off assets to pay taxes in March/April timeframe. So wherever we are at by then could easily dip again.
This market is ridiculously thin. Traders just want to fool people based on emotion, so they can dump again after a fake high volume rise and make their 10-20% profit.
