    Pundits I (now) respect call S&P bottom at 600, FTSE 100 3500. I think they're a bit bullish on the FTSE.

    Today:
    Dow -273.75 -2.65% 10,051.63
    NASDAQ -54.19 -2.78% 1,893.20
    S&P -25.85 -2.35% 1,073.38
    'king 'ell !!!!! $SPX 600 is over 40% below here. Even I am not that bearish.

    I had 9800/1050 for $INDU/$SPX, but I don't see a bottom at the moment. So maybe it'll be 9000/900 or even 8000/800.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      :
      It's all to do with technical analysis apparently..
      Doesn't make much difference to me. I speculated what I could afford to lose, and lost it. Now I just get to watch my priv pension die the death of a 1000 cuts.
