oh darn...i forgot about the circuit breakers...i dont know. 1,000 point move to the downside would be close to 10% wouldnt it?
i dont know the mechanism how it all works...stop trading for a hour?...what?
i just feel that in these next two weeks, all hell is breaking loose, and i'm going on three lil items:
1. ZH showed the insider buying to selling stock ratio a few weeks ago, and it was something CRAZY like 1000 to 1, i cant remember the exact number, but it was enough to make me take notice. 1000 to 1 in favor of selling.
2. if you look at the SnP 500 daily barchart, its beastly ugly and we broke to the downside on heavy volumne...heres the chart site i use:
http://futures.tradingcharts.com/marketquotes/ ...price is right, its free. check out the Sp500 e mini daily chart, then look at the daily gold chart, break outs in opposite directions....silver doesnt show a volumne bump, but i think thats coz guys are sick of getting ambushed, the cartel wouldnt DARE pull that stuff in the gold, its too big a market.
3. most importantly, you can FEEL the market pyschology just broken. black....and a panic is a spooky thing, i was there on the CME floor in 87, and on that Friday, before Black Monday, the 22% crash, we ALL walked off that floor on Friday and knew what was going to go down on Monday...you just FELT it, and thats the feeling i'm getting now...and i'm as far as from the scene as you can get, and I FEEL IT....hope i'm wrong, i really do. i personally think circuit breakers are illadvised, thats the mistake they made in 08, and i talked with a bunch of guys on this, and we felt, ugly as it may be, just let the mkt trade out of the mess.....its just going to get ugly, period. which i write with NO pleasure....and hope i'm very wrong.
