Following on from the China drop last night this is small change, It will make a lot of very nervous people more comfy when the dust settles, One things for sure, I will be on the beach come May.

The bears have been short so long they don't have any money left.

maybe i should have elaborated more.... Im only loving it cause itll give me a good oportunity to reenter the top 40 in a day or twos time. I have lost a few grand today already but at least the market is healthy & not overheating.

the current 23,830 doesn't look to bad for a long entry - will have to set stop at last weeks low of 23,580 though
