Market bottoms happen when there is no reaction to bad news.

Who didn't expect that there would lousy retail sales?

Who didn't expect that there would be lousy jobless numbers?

With this and a lot of bad news already out, and much more bad news to come expected... when will all this be priced in the market?

Though not a MLP, LVS is highly leveraged, and shows why leveraged vehicles are at credit risk in this market.

I don't think it's that people weren't expecting lousy retail sales and jobless numbers. I honestly believe the election finally arrived and somehow caught everybody by surprise because we've all been distracted by the global financial quagmire.
