TM; Thats VOODOO..maybe what he is talking about is say a stock or the market drops 20% , like 100 -20 =80, now for 80 to get back to 100 it must go up 25%..20/80 =25%, in all cases were you lose money in the market it takes an even larger gain just to get even, lose 50% on a stock and it has to double, or gain 100% just to get back were it was. ------------------------------ But let me tell you once a market gets spooked it can take a long time to claw it's way back. What seems to be missing so far as I've read is that the market really peaked back in JULY, it has done nothing but slip and slide and buck and sink since late July. The pundents haven't really charted the MEGA CAPS.. most of them hit their highs back before the OCT sell off. --------------------------------- So it's about time for it to start back up, but OCT27th spooked a lot of people. And the P/Es are at record levels so don't count on any big run up anytime soon. Bear markets have been known to run for years, slowly eating away at the hangeroners. Jim
