Jim, re >"Happy to be in cash"< A prudent stance for
now. All Point-and-Figure market indicators say so.
Myself, I count on the resilience of my large cap holdings.

I got a chuckle out of the Economist's chart on Britain's
consumer prices: flat from 1700 to about 1950, then
exponential. Conclusion to an alien just arriving on earth:
people are much worse off now than in 1700. :)

Thanks for the link. Let's remember that those who publish
for a living must publish every day. They can't possibly
have that much quality material. That goes for Barron's,
WSJ etc., too. Still, I read them - but more selectively
now than before.

Regards Gottfried
PS: I remember how respected sources last December predicted
$5 crude oil, how I used 5% for annual inflation when I
tried to project my income needs before retirement.
Now I think it's futile to project very far.
