I didn't want to crawl into the bear's den but the general market has left me little choice...It may be a while before we bottom so having a few short positions in this environment may not be such a bad idea.

Yes, it looks bleak. I went in Cash to go on a business trip for a week, and when I came back, it looked like the whole market ran into a hole. I don't like to predict, but I think we have a lot more pain ahead before buyers come back. ...I'm making a long, long list of everything I want to pour my money into when panic reigns in the street!

...Signs of the coming crisis: Usual optimist (read: You) start shorting the market and contributing to the bank runs ;)

I'm predicting that this (the markets) will take at least about a full year (maybe even two from now) to fully bottom. Of course, there will be bumps in the road as oversold conditions always lead to short-term oversold bounces. If things go the way I expect them to, we can look forward to more opportunities to build up short sale positiona when the indices run into resistance at the major MA's (like the 50 and 200). Of course, there are always one or two stellar longs to be found even in a full fledged bear market. So even with all the doom and gloom, there are always opportunities to make not only some cash money but decent returns as well.
