There are some gradual signs that the worst is over for this particular downdraft, ... We're optimistic that we can get a little turnaround by the end of the week. But it's hard to point to any one real catalyst that can turn things around.

It looks to me like the market is getting a little psyched-out with these psychological levels, particularly 2,000 on the Nasdaq. After hitting that, people have pulled back a little, but there's still plenty of money on the sidelines. It could inch back up.
