So when, in your opinion, should people on the sidelines move back in?
The ban on short sales is set to expire midnight Wednesday. Anyone heard rumors about it being extended? If it is not, I don't think the world will melt down Thursday morning, but fear of that...
I don't want to feel responsible for anyone else's choices, but if I were in right now, I would wait a day or two to bail. Even a dead cat will bounce and I expect something dramatic from the Fed...
