>>Seriously, now. I'm no historian of the market, but I've heard of tulip crazes and such. It looks to me as if the U.S. market right now is being driven by tulip-craze-type speculators, not by investors looking for real value. Maybe it's time to get out. Any thoughts?<<

Excellent point. That is the one thing that really spooks me. This is one reason I feel a bit safer in the oil patch. Value. However, I think we'll do the usual sector rotation rather than a complete market meltdown. Sectors way overvalued right now will be hit hard, but I sure don't know when...which is why I wouldn't short 'em.

The greater fool theory is operating big time out there.
