I guess  I misread you. I thought you  believed that the market was
starting to get better.and would  bottom out and turn around that way. Thus
the bear market would probably not come to a screeching halt.and turn around
in a couple of days. -And with that thought in mind I thought you had made a
projection about reaching a bottom.- Sorry to have misread you. Donald
