and we've had 400 point up days many times along the way
its called a bear market
they are very volatile
we bears play with you emotions
i dunno what's gonna happen near term and guessing a significant near term bottom put in for a decent bounce soon as fear seems pretty damn high....yesterday coulda been that point but think we got a bit more to go....
but longer term sub 10,000 dow is pretty much a given.....
we about a year into this bear now starting in oct 2007.....will likely take at least 2 years to find a bottom.....
