all the shorts need to capitulate and FED stops giving money to brokers and hege funds before it can gap down. retailers were shorting this market...i'm sure a lot of retail shorts got hammered out
companies like rimm could be lower in a year but who knows what happens over the next 6 months. would suck to see margin calls only to know months afterwards you were right. i'd rather short the USD and go long metals instead of wizzing into the wind with shorts.
