stock market

A couple of months ago I called the market bottom at 6300.

Today we're at 6,594 and Citigroup closed at $1.02. I expect tomorrow to have "modest" losses (80 - 120 points? -- that's modest at this point).

When I called 6300, it seemed drastic. Now I'm questioning if we can hold the 6000 barrier. I'm tempted to stand by 6300, but 5900 would no longer be a surprise. I worry, however, that if we go below 5900, we go into free fall, that there are no more solid psychological barriers in place at that point.

Seeing as how it was 12000 not too terribly long ago, seeing it get hit for more than half its value probably would be the catalyst to free fall. It isn't logical, but then again, the market isn't logical IMHO.
