This bear is turning out to be quite unique. When it started out, the doubting Thomases were by the bucket full. One and a half years down the line fear is yet to hit fever pitch while some are calling for the bottom already...interesting chronicles.
Desperation is kicking in slowly but surely as investors discover their predicament with the current dispensation. GOK debt burden is still hovering over the market/economy. The bear may be around for a while longer till that is resolved. That will be the final chapter/episode of this interesting script.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
