I think the viewpoint you expressed is the one that predominates during rallies, and the one I most recently expressed is what predominated during declines. In a sense I believe in both perspectives. Either is possible. I certainly don't think that a recession is priced into the market however. I think it STARTs getting priced in at market bottoms. But still only as more likely possibility, rather than a conviction. The we oscillate back up on thoughts that we're still doing fine.

I agree with your notion of loading back up the boat somewhere around the low 7000's. Although I will be guided less by exactly what the Dow & S&P are at, than whether we've had a semi-panicked sell off in response, most likely, to some financial shock.

However, I think it highly unlikely that the market will simply proceed to move strongly up from there and past the July highs. We're in for a trading range for some time. Which may or may not have a downward bias. Why? Because we certainly are not as low as its reasonable for the market to go if we do go into a recession. And periods of worry about those possibilities, at least, aren't ending next month. Seems to me.
