OK sports fans........

Where do we go from here? Is tomorrow a Red or Green day? How do we form a bottom here?

I think we are down another 150-200 tomorrow.

Wednesday should be pretty level; probably <50 in the red.

I'm going to say it goes exactly the opposite way, I have no basis for my guess at all, it's just to stir shite.

My only basis is that people are still scared, thus, selling.

I should have either shorted the S&P futures OR found a short ETF. to enjoy this ride down to hedge my bets.

You know its serious when CNBC is running "specials" at 9 PM EST. Also, Cramer just said buy gold.

Gold is up to $1770
Oil down to $78/barrel
The HSI is down 6%
Nikkei is down to 8900. In Jan 1984 it was 10,000.
Look at this S&P500 vs nikkei chart:

I already know that we will be under 10,000 by the end of the week.

Not so fast my friend. I think we rally today. Bulls will see value at some point and I think coil back starts Tuesday. We may end in red but there is some real value out there.

Futures up. I was just listening to Richard Bove. He made a comment that I liked. He said after the last week or so we he is baffled. He said people are worried about our debt and downgrade and have flocked to treasuries. People are pulling money out of bank stocks to buy CDs. He said he is completely confused. Btw, 2 weeks ago he went completely to cash. Good call.

FB I shorted IWM, MLHR, and TLT. The first 2 worked as pretty good hedges I just didn't have a near big enough position. I've been short TLT a long time and no it hasn't worked. I just see no rational reason to buy bonds and at some point it will work.

Certainly feels like it's safe to stick my head out. Will see how it goes but I got a good vibe about the market today. I hate using the word oversold but there is a lot of good value stocks sitting there for the taking?

I think if the day ends green, tomorrow will look better. If it's red it may be a toss-up depending on how deep into red it goes. Thus far the Dow is bouncing around +200.

I am looking out my window right now, and currently there are no clouds. I think if I see some clouds later on, it might rain tonight, and probably tomorrow. If I don't see any, it probably won't. But it might.
