It would make sense since both of the other crashes happened in October. Those
that do have fear would like to exit early. How many of the young Turks will
get caught if there is a downdraft in the market. None of them know what a bear
looks like. It has been an extinct species for about 12 years.
The worst thing that could happen to this market and all that assumed wealth is
a repeat of 1969 to 1974. The system of buying pull backs will bankrupt a lot
of people. Is there another Paul Volker out there?
Have a good week. Ira.
