The Dow had had a good 6 days. Perhaps we have seen the bottom. If so, congratulations to Matty, Jsarno, and Schneed for being the closest. However, I think we will wait a while longer to make sure.

On a bottom you should actually wait a year or so to see if it's a real bottom or not.

A very close friend with a degree in finance who works in the energy markets, predicted this false bounce followed by a further drop. I'm sticking with my prediction.
