This is about the choppiest market I've ever seen...

If you're frustrated with this market, you're not alone.

Picture-perfect, textbook base breakouts are getting spanked right back down into their bases, or even worse.

One day the Dow is up 197.85, the next... down 241.81.

If you can see any "rhyme or reason" in this market, you and I need to have a conversation. Because I don't see any.

The "good" news is... the market is still trying to hang on to its tenuous rally starting back in July.

And maybe even better news is that this week marks the last week of the so-called "Summer Doldrums", that period of the year when, as I've mentioned here before, lots of the top traders on Wall Street are taking it easy at The Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard until after Labor Day.

So until then, it looks like we can expect "more of the same" - each day a "tossup" in the market as to whether it ends up big or down big.

I guess we just grin and bear it for another week or so.
