pocketnews do not rely on hope LOL...that stuff will kill ya. As brutal as it is the market is gonna do what it is gonna do. The market has been here many times before and worse....but it has always recovered in the long run.
just for the record....here is the 10 year dow chart....note how strong 9900 support is. that plus the fact it is 61.8% retrace of the bull makes it pretty tough to get through.
