Okay. I hear you. Do you realize that if you did this a week ago you would probably looking at about a 25% loss right now? And everyone was calling it a bottom THEN.

For there to be a bottom, you need capitulation. You need to scrape the abyss and there needs to be some type of resolution to get us out of there.

You are a good guy GPK. I dont know you but i can tell you are. Believe me when I tell you that there are more dominoes to fall.

Remember that this isnt a typical market. This is an unwinding of not only a speculative housing bubble but a 25 year credit bubble. Lots of parties that we are paying for.
