i really do not understand the trading gong on here and will not pretend. for all the mutual funds to have "supposedly" left the market to return another day, i am left wondering whom is manipulating this market up and down so much. it is not us the retail/dumb money. trading hasn't been so heavy to call for such volatility. it must be high frequency trading pulling money out of the market and flooding the market when it opens. huge price swings of this nature are not the result of the daytrader and i feel an investigation is needed on our behalf. it seems to me that the market is consolidating and has been for 1.5 weeks. i am fearful of the direction we might be headed, but always remember, "scared money dont make money"

long and strong
