It just dawned on me .....Reading through the various posts here got me thinking about how much things have changed on this bb and the world in general . What happened today with WTI really got my attention , even with so many positive catalysts , the paper market was still able to crush any thought of a rally . I'm certainly not losing any sleep over this but the wind feels cold and the denials are even colder .
The fear factor in this market is extremely bifurcated and it appears that fewer people are even trading . Buying seems to have little urgency and I wonder if hopes for a Santa rally are in vain , this may be a long haul to get through the next month and a half . Maybe people get more positive by January (or sooner) . For the time being , we live in a chicken-little world (but nothing lasts forever) .
