Very interesting – thank you. I think I mentioned that Art Cashin yesterday said in his entire career he had never seen advancers outpace decliners by such an extent.
Hey there. Sundancer is trying to teach us how to fish. I'm just not that great and hooking the bait, nor do I have the time with two little ones but I will get there. I believe something new us under the sun and that is sundancer! If technical analysis really worked (and I do believe it does to some extent) then many people would have mastered it and would be rich. Instead, most of us are spinning our wheels. Dread is probably the best technical analyst I have seen. Options may become worthless (if no one is there to pay them out) but by that point money probably won't be worth much anyway 🙁 Not sure what the answer is unfortunately.
Friday, September 19, 2008. This was the night of TARP.
September 19, 2008’s gains lasted all but one session with the entire gain evaporating the next trading day. The S&P 500 had an historical opening that day, closed at 1255.08 on 2008-09-19 up 48.57 points for a gain of 4.03% (a Friday). The S&P 500 closed at 1207.09 on September 22, 2009 down 47.99 points for a loss of 3.82% the subsequent Monday.
We all know what happened next between September 19, 2008 and March of 2009 as the market started it’s decline to what we now refer to as the March 2009 lows.
There is another interesting comparison drawn to the September 19, 2008 record breaker. The advance decline ratio closed at 18:1, meaning for every stock that was down, 18 were up for the day. Today’s advance/decline ratio also ended at 18:1.
9.19.2008 was not TARP

LOL… no, it said Dow 10,000 on it. I Photoshop'd it. He He He (I'm a little bit evil sometimes).
Never seen this! Is it from the crash last year?!
Remember Art Cashin's hat Monica?

very strange that gold is trading higher this morning. Guess that just means more downside in equities.
Thanks Gere…
Very interesting. Makes me glad too be short right now.

Hi Mon,
If options were to become worthless you might as well give up the ghost. The Commercials actually use leverage in a native sense.
Plot your own containment lines. Google “George Renya The Midas Touch”
These will be close enough to do your own analysis. I believe in teaching the folks to fish.
There is very little that is new under the sun. The most successful investors have mastered position size which is the toughest act of them all.
