The market is seldom rational! Expect the unexpected!

There are only two ways to get what you want in life. There are honest means and dishonest means. There are economic means or political means. There is persuasian . . . and there is force. There are civilised ways . . . and barbaric ones!

Rest assured, on any given day in the market all are in play! The same can be said for any given company! When you puts yo' money down, yo' no longer control your fate. (You just leave it in the hands of a "greater power!" In SAN's case, Ned or Dale, down the ladder a few rungs, if you follow.)

They can squeeze till you have to "pass the buck!"

Playing right into their hands!

In normal circumstances the cream will rise to the top! (Simple physics, no alchemy involved, although watch for "sleight of hand!!")

Hang in there, SAN will in time sire "wild and irrational exuberance!" The "event" should be immediatly followed by "stop losses!" (as close to the highs as you dare!)

Until then leave your "Big end open!"
