Curtis, The 30-year bond says a slow year in 1999. So if stocks run 6 months ahead of economic conditions, then we should see a sustained upturn in the stock market in mid 1999.

The problem is, is that the 30-yr bond has predicted 11 of the last 5 recessions-i.e., it's not totally reliable. And as pointed out yesterday in a CBS study, if you were out of the market the 20 best days from 1991-1998, then you return was cut in 1/2.

So for that reason I'll own OS stocks now and just keep a stock loss under them. These stock s have had 50-70% "haircuts" in this downturn .
Might they go lower- possibly. But the upside reward outweight the downside risk here with most OS stocks IMO....

Sincerely,

Doug F.
