Agreed on double dip and unemployment is lagging indicator. Only thing left is for consumers to quit purchasing, construction that has not seen a recession and housing prices to back off from insane 8-10% appreciation rates before full correct of this speculative tech spending bubble. Everyone has to feel some of the pain sometime including the mom and pop holders of the regional phone companies for example.

I think the whole mantra of asset diversification is taking away from he the ability of restart bull market. In fact is is the real cause of the "sell on any rise" in the market. There are a lot of baby boomers starting to realize that 401K loaded with stocks are too risky and need to get into bonds or money market. Let's say you worked for MRK SCH or IBM and the bulk of your retirement was in those companies stock. You would be diversifying if that was what you planned to retire on. I don't see much upside in large cap stocks for the foreseeable future. It's all a matter how world economic and political conditions shake the US's markets. I am getting the feeling relative saftey of US markets are under question.
I wonder if Bush would make a exception on cloning to see if Ronald Reagan genes could be cloned. We could sure use anything but the current leadership on the world scene<g>
