Robert, Yes, your analysis is sound, the facts are true, Y2K IS coming... But performing a probability-magnitude analysis, I am able to state with 99.987% probability that I have foregone some seemingly easy gains on the upside and the magnitude of my losses on puts to avoid being completely wiped out in a severe correction is approaching 99.987% and has caused me to be completely wiped out without a severe correction. My mathematical studies of the wavelet market theory has been 99.987% correct, alas for a minus sign somewhere, which has always put me on the wrong side of the market trend. Trying to use myself as a contrary indicator didn't work as this caused an endless recursive loop in the program. When CPQ warned about $0.15 loss instead of a $0.20 profit and turned green on my screen after an hour, I decided to change the direction of my research. I will now try to discover the laws governing the seemingly irrational movements of schools of fish and flocks of sheep. It will be called the "Black Sheep - Fisher Shoals" - theorem. The complete thesis will be posted when finished, so that we can learn from our mistakes and repeat them with 99.987% accuracy. Good Luc! Per S

Robert would like to include in your deduction the "side effects" of the over funded pension plans due the market rise, who are also reported as corporate profits. So maybe your 6% is even less than that depending on the industry. Now any meaningful market crash will negatively impact corporate earnings as pension plans may start to be under funded and that liability deducted from profits. so we may spiral down BWDIK Haim

To Robert- i don't believe luc's spirit is broken...he just has a different ghost writer... nothing wrong with being selectively long , one can make hay both ways, being long on intc is no being deal, and toutathons cannot be fought...see mu for details... a true conspiracy will implode anyway some of the 'heroes' really don't want to discuss, just pontificate poots are for suckers... ike

Robert, Excellent Post and the VIX adds some Lumber to your Fire -g- To all you VIX watchers, In the last hour today, VIX moved to its lowest level of the year, and with the exception of the closes on November 20 and 23, 1998 and December 23, 1998, the lowest level since the July 1998 price highs. Draw your own conclusions, Maybe the May 13 VIX reading was not too high to mark a market top at the time. So far, of course, that has marked the all-time high.
