I've said for while common sense it going to be one of the most priceless commodities going around as there's so little of it these days. Hopefully the circle will complete and those with it can once again claim an advantage. If I wasn't an ozi living in Canada I'd vote for your kind of thinking any day.....excellent stuff.

Top notch - I'm normally very level-headed, but this is one of those days where I would've lost it. Nice work!

Excessively accurate. Once equities realize game over for the Fed these shennanigans are over.

KD,terrific as always.

One question. You said: "What were people doing today as the market turned? Buying QID and SDS! Inverse 2x levered funds." How do you know this?

WSJ Data Page, accumulation/disribution stats.

They have a subpage in there that shows what's being bought on weakness and sold on strength.

I'm recalling the e-mail from Bill Fleckenstein on 3/4, confiding that margin requirements on hedge funds were going sky high and that "the game is over." I'm also recalling the strange and precipitous sell-off in commodities that began about an hour later. Sound like a leak?

Nice writing...absolutely pegged the entire situation, but you have for a while now. The only thing I don't like about it is how honest and realistic it is. Damn scary. I am going to go bury my head in the sand now. Come get me when it is all over.....
