<Do we eventually retest or go even lower than the 2009 bottom?>

Yes. You didn't put a time frame on this. If you asked whether it was going to happen in 2011, I'd say, "flip a coin". "Eventually" could be 5 or 10 years out.

The one caveat is, this may only happen with inflation-adjusted dollars. The bottom of the secular bear market (began in 2000), will happen when:

1. the debts of broke banks, European governments, U.S. States are written off, not just shuffled around. We're not even close.
2. housing prices start going back up in the U.S. (years away from now)
3. inflation everywhere forces a return to old-fashioned fiscal responsibility
4. alternative energy sources replace fossil fuels. Until then, every economic recovery will see oil prices surge into the $100-150 range, which will kill the bull market. Again, we are years away.
