The only segment of the market even close to working right now is education stocks. Look at the data. Rosetta Stone filing to go public in a shitty market . Grand Canyon Education (LOPE) broke the longest IPO drought in decades . When things go to hell in a handbasket people look at their lives …

The market is being too closely watched. It can’t/won’t do anything good while it is so closely covered. In addition to being too closely watched, it is broken. It is not any one person’s fault.
