re: "some mega bucks foreign officials are gaming this market."
I think so too. I'm sitting on the sidelines until things clear up.
I may re-enter with 401(k) money if the Dow falls to 11,000. It actually looks like a bounce, briefly at least, is going to happen at 11,500.
I continue to view the Dow as overbought. I'm probably out until it starts looking overSOLD.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
