Is this another bout of "irrational exuberance"? The investor in me agrees with you - index and cost averaging is the way to go. The trader wants to speculate on another correction and maybe opportunities to short the market. Q4 should be interesting.

We want people to be engaged and care about the market but harness their fears that might be associated!

Also, the other indicators they try to use like the Super Bowl indicator and so on, sure makes it seem like some in the market are either crazy or have too much time on their hands. Recent Septembers have been pretty good. Trading based upon historical averages for a month is pretty sketchy.
