Mike,
I've enjoyed your posts (and articles) for quite a while now. I agree that the market is prime for a decent drop. This thread is similar in some ways to the millennium crash and kahuna threads, but the kahuna thread is more for short-term traders lately, and the millennium thread has a more "dow going to 800" tone.
As for me, I think that the bear is likely to be deflationary. I respect the opinions of you and Bonnie, but feel that the Silicon Valley bubble economy is more of an aberration than a leading indicator. Check out the (dis)inflation graphs in a bunch of different consumables at yardeni.com . There is also an interesting valuation model there that compares the 10 year bond yield to the earnings yield of the S&P 500, it's been quite good for the past 15 years, at least.
My meager portfolio is mostly in cash, I do have some DSWLF, thanks in part to you and all the other folks on the value and Deswell threads.
Keep up the good work. Zach |
