yup, u r right...
BUT, that was the second instance of 2008...
the first instance happened during 15-22 Jan, 08
In all, there have been total 8 instances of 5 consecutive -ve closing days in 2008.
Out of which, in 6 instances, we had the 6th day as +ve close.
Regarding the November 2008 instance, I had already mentioned, after looking at 17th Nov's (4th day) Future's flat closing (just -0.4 points), that it is more probable of having an exception this time, as it had spoilt the "flow" / "setting"
Let's see if we can have the 9th instance tomorrow, to be followed by TUESDAY
