Sure my statement is definitive, but as I said before... it's just my opinion.  Take it or leave it.  It really doesn't matter to me.  I have stated numerous times that I am not a professional and to take my opinion/advice for what it is.  I have been trading/investing for over 20 years and have done very well.  Have I done the best?  Of course not.  Was this the best time to buy into Micro$oft?  Time will tell.  The indicators that I follow all point to the fall slowing and I suspect the turnaround will happen soon.

Lol you haven't?

I quoted a post above in which you said "I suspect a turn-around after a few days." on 2/24. Is that not essentially saying we are at/near the bottom and the market will recover in a few days? Or does it have to contain the exact same phrase of words to count in your mind?

Here's some more:

"The major drop that we have seen over the last 2 days was pretty much needed and should reach the bottom soon." 2/25

"I wouldn't call it a "rally" or "recovery" just yet, but getting back in is probably a good move right now." 3/02 and hopefully no one listened. 

"In my opinion it's still a good buying opportunity as I think we are very close to the bottom of this sell-off." 3/03 DJIA @ 25.9k but very close as per you. At least you stated that one as opinion.

"When the market does find it's bottom (which I think is close)..." 3/09 DJIA @23.8k but again, good on you for at least phrasing it as opinion.

Like I said, keep calling it and eventually you'll be right.
