Let's assume a 1.5% average daily drop in the major indexes between now and 8/14 (definitely not out of the question). That'll mean a net 21.48% drop between the close of business today and the opening bell of The Witching Day, and put the DJIA at 6112, NASDAQ at 1006 and S&P 500 at 643.

All you need are a few strategically-placed companies to shove the herd in that direction.

So, would August 16th be a good day to invest? A couple days after the proverbial stuff hits the fan? And, do you think it will reverse the October factor that people have talked about on this thread? In otherwords, deflate that period of "normal" selling? (that traditionally happens during that period every year) Thanks
