Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the upcoming margin calls and the start of a liquidity crisis that for now has crippled the high-yield (junk) corporate bond market.

And another note about earnings. Without continually rising stock prices, companies will have less tax benefit from writing off employee options, which if I remember correctly from a Barron's article, accounts for some 30% of Cisco's EPS. All of a sudden, even bellwether Cisco has NO GROWTH.

When/if panic sets in, it could get ugly fast. I think the bulls will defend NASDAQ 3,000 vigorously and if we break below that it's over for this time around.
