No doubt we'll know when the market plunges. What isn't so obvious are the moves (and mistakes) made along the way to that plunge.

These bean counters track every penny and know exactly when to expect when time is up. As such they maneuver (sometimes illegally) in the shadows to cover their exit so that they mitigate losses. In return the Fed likely works with them the dampen the market blow as much as possible for as long as possible.

The mistakes are key for the little people to be keen on. If indeed this was a maneuver to that end then what we seen today was the ghost in the machine we should be paying attention to in order to cover our exits or at the very least to be at the ready to mitigate our own losses so when the plunge is obvious we can move as quickly as possible.

I for one moved to invert the market months ago and currently half pressed on a light trigger to exit at a moments notice. Once the bottom completely falls out we should all be at the ready to jump back in to catch the rebound whatever that may look like. Keep in mind, like their exit, they also don't announce their re-entry. Much in the same way we should be keen to the ghost in the machine on the re-entry to gain as much upside as possible. It should be possible to come out of this debacle better than what we came in at.

What will it look look like, not sure what it is?
