This kind of headline does not help consumer confidence; & some of my ramblings:

9:18am 03/20/01: 71% OF COMPANIES SILENTLY CUTTING COSTS: CHALLENGER (the employment survey outfit)

One might speculate that this "oversold" market is due/over due for a pop up.

I think the markets are desperately in need of a positive catalyst. Anyone have one ?<G>

How about a negative one instead?

Japan situation seems to be going from bad to worse. Some day, hopefully soon, they need to: let some banks write off ALL of the bad debt, let some banks fail, let the survivors consolidate & last-but-not-least, start to ENCOURAGE consumer spending

Don't think 1Q earnings will help (to the contrary). Year-over-year quarterly earnings comparisons most likely will be very unfavorable, adding to the negativism.

Anyone ready for 'capitualation' yet? Even on down days, market volumes don't seem to indicate that we are there yet.
