Good call - Kodiak almost certainly for real, area plays a for day trading. A friend gave me an image on trading that really stuck for me yesterday. I usually trade more blue-chip stocks, and I've very painfully had to adjust my band of % gain or loss for the mining stocks - much much wider. A wave will probably hit Kodiak, smashing it upwards. But before every tsunami, what does the ocean do? It recedes, often a great distance. Ditto SP - the big day traders drive the price down to scoop stop losses etc, and everyone panics. Then the tsunami (I hope) or at least a very big wave hits and leaves all the panic sellers in the rough and tumble of the surf. My friend did it with sound effects (high voices and waves crashing) too - very convincing.
