I'll bet the buyers do.

I hope the charts are showing a bottoming and not a "dead cat bounce".

You see a "bounce" in the charts?

I don't think dead cats bounce, Shelly.

...please explain what this is!

A dead cat bounce is basically a temporary rebound from a decline after which the decline continues.

If you drop a "dead cat" from a height, it will bounce, but ever so slightly--giving the "illusion" that it may still be alive.

In investing, a "dead cat bounce" relates to an investment that quickly falls and then, jumps up slightly from a low--this jump can be caused by some investors buying in, (mistakenly)believing that the investment has bottomed out and is ready for a comeback. Unfortunately, the few who bought in at this point are outnumbered by the folks who think otherwise and, after a small jump, the investment continues going down.

Finally, got a good laugh this morning. "Dead Cat Bounce," one has to watch such terminology around Miss Kitty.

A dead cat bounce is basically a temporary rebound from a decline after which the decline continues.

Bright Eyes, the Martini Time cat, isn?t too sure about this terminology. She prefers ?shaking out the ribbon clerks? to ?dead cat bounce.?
