  5. perhaps i jumped the gun a little with the phrase popularized by VN on his site---- here is the basic gist of the idea:

    popularized? Oh yeah, all the cool kids are using it these days. They're like, Yo, Yo, shizzle ma nizzle, dog, its like time to take out ma cane an bust a cap in this market.

    :D

    Seriously though, "take out the canes" means being on the buying end of a major panic that happens once in a while. Is that what's happening now?

    Hmm... lemme see... Dow +25 pts, other indices flat.

    :confused:

    Yes that's what happened. We had an intraday rally of 100 points. So just the end of day data doesn't tell the whole picture....

    Pekelo, I think you're missing the point. "taking out the canes" is not about intraday moves. Its about a sustained downmove that takes prices down hard.
