Hi Bill; I don't want to call a bottom, The S&P bounced off 932 but not strong, and is still below support level, and we still have roughly 500 down ticks for every up tick, and my guess is that the few buyers are buying from people shorting, you can bet that on every up tick there a short seller at this point, with an explosion to short term bonds happening right now, to many people running to saftey, to try to pick up a bargain in this mad rush is to risk getting bloody. I would think that if the down ticks reverse that maybe just grabbing the S&P Depo Recpt.. "SPY" might be the best move. even when the market starts up you can't tell which stocks funds will rotate out of. It's to much of a mad house..the Fund managers don't know what to do..but sell, they have to have some cash in case the little people want to cash in. I missed this week bad, but I wasn't really convinced enough to go in. My last best call was DEC5th when I called that minor top, or bubble, and got out of every thing I could with out taking any more of a loss than I already had from that Oct sell off ( I was out on the boat then )..so it's really been a bear market all along since around AUG..people are going broke slowly, and aren't aware of how their pension money has been chewed on. -------------------------- So many people think they are not invested in the Stock Market, but they are. Lots of people in MM funds think they are in cash, and they never look at what the MM fund is invested in. :-) Jim |
