Kids always take their toys and go home when they don't get special attention. I'm leaving now. :lol:

Ok. I'm back. :lol:

Here's part of a note I sent to another poster last night:

"FWIW here is my record of sentimentrader readings.
Tonight's jump was not real extreme but as you can see it's in the area of previous reverses."

Why would anyone with any talent who is willing to share it put up with abuse. Most of us are trying to learn something and make money and not to use it as a means to reinforce our own petty egos trying to bring down others. Please report the abusers and try to keep this board free of toxic trolls. To those of you that still post valuable stuff, thanks! UBW

I enjoyed semis work as it was really easy to understand. He sent me some volume 101 stuff and I could follow his work. As for Insider, that guy would take positions when others were ready to [bleeeep] in their pants. He has some big cahunas. He was pretty good at sensing a sentiment change coming on taking a contrarian position. That sucks that he left.

This guy hasn't left.
Seems like he had a good take yesterday morning:

After a decline like what we've had, it's not extreme pessimism you need to get a good rally.

It's a turn toward Bullishness that's needed.

You gotta get some buyers. There's plenty of built up pessimism, which means that there's plenty of shorts and plenty (a whole lot) of cash and future fuel for a rally. What you need to get it is a reason to buy. I.e. a little bit of optimism.

This isn't a Bull market corrective low. This is a Bear market trying to find A low. Very different. It's also not about stocks it's about the rest of the financial system, really.

Now, if the optimism gets too overblown, it'll kill any rally (as it has), but I suspect that many folks will be getting more Bearish on a rally, getting ready for the re-test.

THAT will be the hook.

Mark
