Sounds like we should be working on the Grand Bubble Unification theory I guess that is why this Kahuna babble is all Myth,the Kahunaites have to comprehend there is a new law of Physics called the "Infinite Bubble" and the corollary to the law is "Don't Worry,Be Happy" :)

max90-you arecorrect.the set up is very similar to 1987.the potential for trouble is far greater now though.the public was only in stocks in a small way then not massively as they are now.of course the real problem is that prices are far ,far higher and have much farther to fall than they did then.of course rates are only 6+ vs 9+ but this bursting bubble will cause economic disaster whereas the 87 crash was an ecomonic non event.

To me, the scariest thing is reading the stock threads. I, too, am an ex-hippie who used to break into hives looking at a financial page. I joined SI to learn how to invest wisely. What passes for advice on most of the threads is so ~ what's the word? Moronic? "Don't Worry, Be Happy" sums it up very well. Every so often I get a client who tells me things like, "you have to believe we're going to win, because if you don't believe we are going to win, then we won't win." And if I say, "well, this could happen, or that could happen, we have to be realistic" then they accuse me of negativity. And these guys I get rid of as fast as I can, because their expectations are unrealistic. I, personally, would never take advice from someone who thinks that prudence is negativity.
