quote:Yes, I was going to post that. Another 'first out' incorrect post by our favorite show. They said they went negative on their forecast for '09 and '10, and should have said they revised their estimates down. They try to post things super-fast, and they are frequently incorrect, it seems.

Well, having them come in at that super-super critical 810 stop area with nothing below but air tells me the manipulators are still protecting this thing. The other interesting thing is I follow this one room where someone describes a squawk box, and the biggest player in the pit, who comes in here and there and hits it big. He came in as this was dropping towards the area, hit it hard on the short side, and stopped and started to cover as it hit the lows. He drove it down, but stopped before taking it under. Interesting, huh? Came in, made a boatload of money, then stopped before the 810 stops, which would have been very lucrative for him. And then it starts up and is looking like it may go to new highs. Not a coincidence, but a huge clue. Also, the VIX barely moved on the drop.
