"is that we could basically stay sideways to slightly down as earnings catch up to the high prices in stocks as valued now."

I am not sure the 7.25 to 9% margin debt (the rate is currently rising) will support a sideways market. IOW - with margin debt so high as a % of total household assets, I'm not sure people can afford to make "payments" on their stocks considering they are already deep in debt to the house, car, credit cards, etc.
