Thanks galloper for your Russell update....always appreciated. Bear markets have this disadvantage for traders....lack of money in the pot. All the easy mug money gets sucked out and like a drying-up lake, the sharks are left to feed of each other. The going really gets tough here in Oz. Smart traders will have to migrate to more sloshy markets where there's some loose money still about....FX is the last resort, since it has lots of "dopey instition and sovereign ego" money still in circulation long after stock, futures and bond markets have shrivelled to a fraction of their present size.
