John, this is certainly possible - note that the Japanese market also went through a static period in '88 before the final blow-off in '89. otoh, it is somehow hard to believe that this market will be in stasis going forward - pure gut feeling of course, no precedent to the current mania exists, strictly speaking. only parallels to previous investment manias can be discerned, but there are no exact replicas as economic development is in constant flux. the only common denominator is mass psychology. regards, hb

John; I hate to say it but they bake the numbers to fit the curve they intend to prove. It's such a sham I'm bewildered how they continue to suck people into believing it. If the market goes into some sort of "stasis" it will sink there is just to much of it owned via futures and derivatives all of which have a premium attached to them. The interest on the leverage would eat it alive, for the most part it lives on the lurching up and down. That's were the investment/bankers/brokers/dealers make their money.."stasis" would eat them alive. ----------------------- If new money don't continue to flow in the market sinks of it's own weight as it's got a lot more overhead than they talk about. It's the biggest and best and longest lasting Ponzi scam there ever was , and it's surprised even the pimps that put it together; so much so that they are now convinced it won't ever end and they may be right but I doubt it.
