I'll take some at 5. I don't have a position in C but it is worth a gamble at that price... worth a shot anyway. I'm willing to take a loss on the entire position if it goes to zero so risk management should be a breeze. I figure if C goes under the entire financial sector is going down so what the heck. You can always use the paper money you have left to burn for the winter... it might be a cold one.
JR is looking great on this call but one thing I don't understand is this: He says oil is still in a bull market and bull markets have 50% corrections all the time. By that definition the stock market is still in a bull market, this is just a healthy correction. So basically there is no such thing as a bear market in the indexes. Just pull backs. That actually makes sense somewhat because lousy/bankrupt companies get dropped from the indexes all the time so with only solid companies in the index well, yeah, then its a never ending bull market..
