More likely, the repeated hacking of the Nasdaq's computer
systems (see WSJ & FT weekend reports) is preliminary to some
kind of attack -- which could recreate the conditions for another
flash crash.
as far as emotions, there are two main drivers in the market,
fear and greed. However they are not yin and yang, equal in
power and do not exhibit the same moves in the market.
Just like the market, major stops and bottoms tend to be way
different.
Market bottoms tend to be quick spikes, 1 day events,
while topping is more of a process! That's why it's easier to
pick bottoms then picking tops
Fear is stronger then greed IMO and that's why you typically see
the market go up and up and up for 3 months, and then give up all
that 3 months of gains in just a few days pullback when fear comes
into the equation. Gravity is always stronger, it's much
easier to melt down then to melt up.
