Portfolio manager Jerry Jordan tells CNBC that he doesn't see the Dow [.DJIA 6626.94 32.50 (+0.49%) ] going below 6,000.

(.DJIA) 6626.94 32.50 (+0.49%%) Dow Jordan subscribes to the thesis that the market will turn when everyone throws in the towel. "It's very hard for me to look at the markets where they are and look at valuation on a normalized basis and think we have a lot more risk," he says. University of California business professor Pete Novarro doesn't quite see it that way. He tells CNBC, "from a technical point of view there is no bottom. It's a bottomless bottom. There is no level of support." He says that fundamentally the global economy is getting worse faster than policy is getting better and until that changes we keep going down. And that leads to our Fast Money Reader Poll. Do you think the market is about to make a bottom?
