Hi Bill, I can't argue with your post... I'm only suggesting that the chart patterns look very bad for all three major indices and I think we could easily see another 1000 DOW points lower in the next three weeks or so... between 9200 and 9600..... then, of course, it's a screaming buy as long as rates don't get out of hand... which I also suspect they will..... we may see the long bond around 7.25 per cent in the next 6 months or so..... GZ

Bill, Fundamentally: market overvalued with p/e in mid 20's vs historical teens. P/E is function of 1/(i - g) where i = return on equity and g = growth in earnings. Fundamentally we are seeing increase in i and decrease in g. Even if g remained the same and we assume p/e of 25 a half % increase in i (related to long T bond) would fundamentally justify an 11% drop in market, a .3% increase (as bonds went from 6 to 6.3%) would justify 7% drop and a 1% increase would justify a 20% drop in market. Technically - now is the time of the year for market to decline. During '87, market went below 200 d MA on Thursday, had failed rally and further drop on Friday (which was also options expiry), then crashed on Monday - that is why I think if decline occurs it will be in a matter of 1 - 3 days. Sooner or later averages catch up to horrendous A/D line. In a few days people may realize that Greenspan, Buffett and Balmer were really offering friendly advice with their comments on the market.
