I remember the 1970`s Bear, did not participate ( 1975 Grad) but remember well, If thats what you consider a real bear market.

I doubt it. 5 points in 5 min.
By that calculation 1500 before the FOMC tomorrow.

well, guess that's it for today. now we have the answer for my short-term evil plan, so no bother to blah blah here, this is on a little bit longer time frame than the next couple of days of course. for very short-term in the next couple of days, I won't be too bearish which I'll explain in tonight's report. Thank you guys, I'll see you tomorrow.

Is a crash and a Bear the same thing? , Maybe he means a real Bear like the one that lasted from 1966 to 1982 were stocks went nowhere.

Ah, nuthin really.

OK, NUGT coming back down to 78% retrace area again around 9.10ish...let's see if that area holds...if not then down to lower trend line around 8.50....
Edit: sorry wrong chart...oops!

Since the Nikkei & Hang Seng dumped, they might rally tonight.
Since India & Europe rallied, they'll likely dump. Maybe I should've sold my EWP (Spain).

I would not want to do another 1987. When we had the flash crash (May 6, 2010), I was thinking here we go again.
