Bill, I just read this thread tonight for the first time.

Hopefully some rational discourse will eventually appear.

In the meantime, welcome to investors amateur hour <g>.

More seriously, what I don't understand about the bulls
these days is that the greatest overvaluation in history
is so obvious and known, yet they keep applying the same
"rules of thumb" that worked last year and think they still
apply. At SI I read several threads and study the charts
at decisionpoint.com, although other sites also
offer good information. Some threads are worth reading
just to see how messed up people can get by following their
favorite guru that has led them all the way through the
bull market (100% invested, and they still are). I find
my sanity at TSO (Tech Stock Options, which is a misnomer
because they don't do tech stock options anymore - it's
become a good source for short term general market trading
inputs). It is also quite bearish, since July.

People, these things don't play out instantly. Patience.
Patience. The bear market is an evolving entity. The
"Goldilocks" environment has been here for a long time,
and not just in stocks. Last year I wrote (not on SI)
that I would be looking for a crisis in confidence as
one of the keys to the end of the bubble. Look at Clinton
now and tell me that he has the confidence of leaders
from around the world. Do you really think he can handle
a world crisis now? What is going to happen when something
goes very wrong - and everything has been so very right for
so very long that only a dodo could think it will continue
for much longer.

I am not predicting the end of the world. However, I suspect
that the next few years will be most interesting times, true
to the real meaning of the Chinese curse.
