The RO Report, "Bottomless?" Edition

We were asking a lot of questions about bottoms in the RO today. How many different types of bottoms are there? Do you need to be surprised by a bottom? Do you like big bottoms?

Mud flaps?

I mean it seems everyone is waiting for a huge washout, a capitulation if you will. But when you're already "down here," what would constitute a capitulation? Another 10%? 20%? Does it all have to come in one day?

Look, if this market is leaving you scratching your head, you're not the only one. It's a difficult environment for investors, swing traders and day traders. Everyone is taking their lumps. But even more than I felt it in November, I'm beginning to get the feeling that we're getting close to the elusive Bottom.

There will be a bottom. This isn't the bottomless market.

Anyway, it was a good day for the RO. Out of 28 traders today 20 were gross positive or 72%. 7 traders made over $1,000 gross and 2 traders lost over $1,000 gross. I was #6 of 28. Happy, especially considering that I started the day poorly.
