LOL!! I do not wish anyone luck if they fall prey to this type of writing/advice. I wish they would do their own form of self-examination. For instance, it points out that~ Also, mutual fund investors have reduced their stock holdings at the fastest pace since December 1987. Back then, investors were still running for the exits after the October crash. Boy, that tuned out to be a good move!? They sold at the wrong time, greatest bull market in history was just getting rev'd up! LOL!! CONTRARIAN!! Happy Hunting! MileHigh

What a bad article! I'm getting tired of the so called experts talking about the market as if it is an entity on to itself. That articles fails to mention the reason for the under performance in the midcap companies, they are not putting up the numbers. They gone to say "Also, mutual fund investors have reduced their stock holdings at the fastest pace since December 1987. " Could be that investor have found out that they do not need them to hold their hands? Could it be that the private investors have found out they can make more money then owning a fund with their single digit returns if that? Take one look at what is happening to the full service brokers, they are dinos, M. Lynch mob and their fat commis is long gone, it's about time to. Plus this " McCabe said the market sell-off could take place in October. It has the reputation of being a 'crash' month for stocks but October is also known as a 'bottoming' period because market weakness often sets the foundation for recoveries,' he said." Looking in the review mirror AGAIN. I would love know this guys UNDER performance record. Greg

Re : NYT Reuters piece on "stealth" bear market -- every time I read something like this, I hope it is a sign that buyers and sellers of stocks are slowly figuring out many cases of "the emperor has no clothes." (Several things immediately come to mind. I think every single one of them is a company that is "okay" because Warren Buffett says it is okay, even though the company sucks). So many companies post miserable growth that it always seemed obvious that at some point, NO ONE could justify maintaining the "trees growing to the sky" mentality. Jon.
