Very good...thanks for your thoughts and insight. <<There's nothing to press. We're in a period much like that which occurred after the Panic of 1907. Until 1916 the environment could only be described as "dismal".>> So basically, unless other major steps are taken - this whole credit bubble issue meanders for a say 1-3 more years. I use this time frame since with the info-age things happen much faster today than they did 100 years ago. Fair to say? <<Not a desirable path at all, but a necessary one. It can't be a fix that drags on and on. The only thing that alleviates that possibility is if Congress gets out of the way and lets free market capitalism operate. That won't happen. In Congress' view( the 'crat view) it's better to chase after and punish the wealthy than it is to stimulate the economy. It is only letting people do business unimpaired that will resolve this financial crisis.>> Why can't some of it happen? New office, new plans, new dudes and maybe a chick @ 1600 Penn Ave? Change is one thing constant in the World no matter what topic your on. Are you that pessimistic because you know "much too much" of this game? I'm trying to figure your LT thoughts and motives. Are you planning on running for office or waiting for financial dooms day in the USA? Don't take that as an insult..it's actually a very nice compliment. I reread some of your old postings a few days ago...you know your financial shit. That's a compliment too!! <GG> (brown noser!! LOL) fwiw...I do think going to 100% cash is quite possible, ie cut the loss and move on. My stops are now GTC.(Financial lesson #4 and #3,356 - don't leave for a meeting w/out GTC stops for when, not IF you are wrong.) Staying in cash is not; nothing ventured - nothing gained. I am not all knowing, but I consider myself insightful enough and smart enough to prosper in the long run in the art for preservation of capital. Too many people do the boom-bust thing, then do it again and again. Read any book about those investment gurus - where are most of them now?...I just want to doink along my little road and not get too stupid :-), though little bits of "stupid" are a sure thing in life.
