Early Stock Rebound Slips Away (WSJ)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/3/2009

Posted on 03/03/2009 8:27:28 AM PST by SonOfDarkSkies

I was in AZO and ESI and down on both...when they bumped up this AM and I was back up, I sold them both...made a little money...they were my last two stock holdings.

I am now out of the market alltogether.

Based on absolutely nothing but a whim, I predict the market will bottom at 4000. Now, based on what I’ve observed, no one in the 0 administration has the sense to do what the market needs, and the same goes for the leadership in Congress, but they all know exactly what to do to keep the market plunging, and they will continue to do what they know, because they think they are right.
