Bollinger says he is not bearish yet and remains fully invested with a 60% allocation in US stocks, including Dell Computer (DELL), Compaq (CPQ), Fannie Mae (FNM), Capstead Mortgage (CMO) and Wild Oats Markets (OATS), 20% in international stocks and 20% in bonds. But he's keeping his eyes peeled and is ready to exit on a moment's notice. "One thing is certain, the events will run further, longer, or perhaps both, than anticipated -- no matter how careful the observation and analysis," he says. "To think that we can out-think the crowd is hubris."
