Nah.
Open down 38 with a quick rebound into positive territory and a close near +80.
Gold will be down 22 $ at 5:00PM.
Most of the Asian markets will be down tonight but will follow the US lead and rebound the next day.
The collapse that many are expecting will happen out of the 'clear blue' later. (when the big boys get the small guys back into the market)
My two cents.
And that, my friend, is why markets work. You think its going to do one thing, and I think it will do another. No government intervention needed. You pays your money, you takes your risks.
I DO think that you are right with the BIG takedown, but sometimes other events ruin even the best planning. They might just lay it down all at once. But then again, I still think that AQ has to be looking at this and thinking it would be a nice time to slap us again. (Or have I been reading too much Tom Clancy....?)
