Personally, I wonder if all the "experts" aren't just showing the fear they have that they won't pick the right stocks. It's easy for the guys on Wall Street to strut in a rising market where just about any stock is going up. Throw darts at the Naz back in January and you're a genius right now. It's a lot harder when it's a hot and cold market, and you have to make the right decisions. Could be that the upcoming accountability has them worried as much as anything. Kind of like when education isn't based on a grade from a test, but everyone passes so as not to feel left back. I'd much rather have a market where the true winners are the ones going up...

There have been some articles posted on other threads recently where various "experts" are warning that the market is shaky because many stocks are going down and a small number are going up. Well, if you were an investor, where would you put your $? In high growth sectors or in Coca Cola? I would like to see more conversation on this thread about "divergence from the mean" as one of the fundamental shifts that is going on. Is this part of the fundamental shift that is occurring? "Convergence to the mean" is one of the mantras I hear repeatedly from very kowledgable investment people, ones with long, successful track records, to explain why the market must fall, and why highly priced stocks are "overvalued." Would like to see comments of others about this.
