Attempts at market manipulation are working, but again not exactly as hoped; there is no meaningful correction afterward. Why is that... The market surely is overly sensitive to bad news. Realizing that, manipulators have to drop the market lower just to cover their earlier shorts. They'll keep doing this so long as they can until they think they reached the definitive bottom from which we'll shoot upward. Who can call that?! I fear we're in for a long ride down. Yet I also welcome it. B/c who will do the buying at these levels? Those shorting will be less and less able to maintain inventory. Retail buyers will have the opportunity to jump into the game with prices at that level. The concern is retail buyers will see the 12 month history, the long decline, and be less than keen to buy in, when indeed they should and need to buy, buy, buy.
