As I said before, they want to sucker as many in as possible, to get the maximum amount of pain on the majority of people. If there are only 5% who think like us, then it doesn't leave many to buy the bargains at the bottom. The secret is to keep it interesting for the true believer longs so a spike every few days.. and hope of recovery.

There will be a couple of bounces to sort out those trying to get early bargains for the long haul, but these will plummet again. Rinse and repeat.

Initial collapse from 35% - 50% over the next 2-6 weeks. Historically every crash is faster and deeper than the last one (after 1929) especially as there is more debts covering so many types of investments. If you see the miners and banks start to plummet, then that will be the turning for everything.
