RE: I guess it would be really really stupid...Mike, hang in there and don't even think about averaging down here - IF Oil is around $40 as the afternoon approaches, there is a chance the big volume comes in for the potential afternoon rally - that would be the time to roll the dice, IF AT ALL. The Dow and S&P are holding steady down 1.5 and 2%. We have to see how the market reacts to the data - my guess is the markets may sell off further. Of course, it's been a crazy enough week to not be surprised to see the markets close in the green as well. Bottom line, IF you are considering averaging down, wait for another test and bounce off the $40 mark...
