Me, having found the Maker's Mark (ticker symbol: BOOZ), am now playing Beethoven's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra to calm my nerves.
His one and only violin concerto, amazingly enough. Trust Beethoven to write arguably the greatest piece for violin ever and then decide, "Nyeah, good enough. Now for something completely different."
Here's a taste, with hot hot hot Anne-Sophie Mutter as soloist
Goddamn, that was amazing! I don't think I've every heard so many perfectly executed stylistic changes in such a short time. Wow... thanks.

He was unbelievable. My parents used to play his stuff a lot in the 50's and then I rediscovered him in my 30's or so. I recommend "Concert By The Sea" a live recording of his done in Carmel in 1955.

It's deja vu time. Are we reliving 2001, 2002, or 2003? http://screencast.com/t/MrWcxRbysu Giledain started this and it has been troubling me all day. He's loaded now, so its all his fault.
Now you've made me nostalgic. For the '66 SS, not getting married every four years.

Boys & girls, y'all have a great weekend. I'm almost flat after cashing in a nice move on SRS, with only a short position open on CAKE, awaiting whatever comes next week.
I wish they did not have things like this in the media -- because, now the drop (if any) will be that much shallow. The more bullish the public sentiment, the harder they fall.
Thanks for the links anyways.

You are of course assuming that the average investor will care or will pay attention. I do not think this will affect the drawdown in the slightest. The longer it takes the deeper it will be.
Edit: sorry, being a bear of little brain I get inverse mixed up with converse with reverse.
Re-edit: being a contrite bear as well, I found RWM. 1x Russell 2000 inversed...

Skies just opened up and we are being bombarded with hail. Now the thunder. Quite dramatic. (My office is wall to wall windows on three sides).

Sounds as dramatic as this market. I see lightning everytime I look at the screen.

Couldn't wait for QQQQs to hit 40.53 which is the 61.8% Fib. It got to 37.57, a penney above the 50% Fib and I bought 34 August puts at an ave in of $.23. 2400 contracts (240,000 shares). I want them to pin today's expiration down to 36 but I expect they'll squeeze the bears (now me) for one last drop of blood. Haa, I still have powder to burn.

May I ask what your FIB timeline is? My Fib lines are not aligning with yours.
BTW: I greatly appreciate your posts VJ!

Here's the chart but the points have changed, Fib 50% is a little bit higher. I hate the inaccuracy of Stockcharts and I really should take the time to compute exact Fibs from official market data. I guess its good enough for a wannabe.
As you might guess from the chart, I expect one more wave up to capture the 61.8%, but a dump before then (see red dashed line, just a guess). I just read Prechter's Elliott Wave Theorist and he's not, appaently, not satisfied the wave structure and bull run is in.
Tim, interesting that you are posting Bollinger Bands. I don't recall you doing so in the past. I usually try to stay away from technical indicators other than a basic momentum indicator such as RSI and MACD. I decided a couple of days ago to add BB as an additional part of my selection process to increase my selectivity. Thought it was a funny coincidence that you used BBs in your post today.
