These charts are incredibly bearish, and were it not for the bailout being cooked up by the Federals we would be looking to get short and stay short until we burn a thousand points to the downside at least.
However, that is not the case. It does look like the government 'will do something' and this may have a powerful short term impact on the markets.
We want to be ready and capable of taking advantage of a volatile situation.
"'I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ No, father Abraham,’ the rich man said, ‘but if someone from the dead appears to them, they will repent.’ And Abraham said, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not change and repent, even if someone were to rise from the dead.’” Luke 16:27-31
