well, I have capitulated finally. A 20% loss yesterday overall on my IRA =

time for me to break out WON's mini-book on shorting stocks and see if =

All the professionals are looking for a massive capitulation day to mark =
the termination of this bear market (i.e. an obvious panic day when they =
can start pouring money in). Using the fact that the market rarely =
satisfies the majority of participants, I suspect that the professionals =
may not get their wish. As such, one other scenario comes to mind:

The market continues this relentless water torture for an indeterminate =
amount of time and finally the bear market ends at some point with a =
whimper barely noticed by anyone, that is a new low is made on a fairly =
"normal" day and the market starts climbing back up the next day, either =
A) explosively or perhaps B) gently and imperceptibly and basically =
doesn't look back from that day on.

Any other non-capitulation scenarios that any of you can come up with? =
The reason I ask is that with my "B"scenario, we may not get the FTD day =
that will ring the bell for us either.
