>>as long as the data and market history is on my side.<< bgr, the market now is not equal to many markets in the past. to compare them is to compare apples and oranges. if you compare this market with other markets that had similar valuations, what was the result? did you know that for each $1 this country produces in gdp there are $2 in trading? this never occurred in the 80s. or 70s. or 60s. or 50s. or 40s. or 30s. it did in the 20s, though. 1929, to be exact. while direct correlations of the present to 1929 are error prone, so is comparing this market to, say, the 1990s, for example. very different markets.

BGR, I disagree with you about MB . He is exceptionally generous with his time and knowledge. One day ( after it is too late)everyone will realize that this market was a manic bubble of historic proportions. There are many " highly educated" people who cannot think independently from the herd. The crowd is right during the trend but wrong at major turning points. The gullibulls will see how rapidly liquidity disappears during a severe market break. Your comments amuse me. ho ho ho mike
