ref: rpietila / others who 'knew'
Did they just have 'better' information than us in terms of an early 'nod' on the news?
Maybe this has been raised in the last few pages - I confess I haven't got time to look back - but is it not possible someone knew someone, who knew what was about to happen?
To accurately say 'it will go down to 500' is pretty good.
Was it a timed assault of a wave of selling and the timing was lucky - or was it timed FOR the news once it was obvious it was coming (if you had the right information).
Questions, questions.....
It was luck. The China news developed over time and I highly, highly doubt we would have even touched the $500's if it hadn't developed this way.
