Thanks for the reply, Sam. A couple comments: If you have deep enough pockets and if you are conservative enough, you can buy bear market rallies for quite a while. Currently, I can invest new money on occasion thanks to income from my regular full-time job. I think this cash inflow helps me from a psychological standpoint -- to not worry specifically about how the market moves, and rather to concentrate on the businesses behind the stocks. But if the bear continues to growl for any considerable length of time, which it hasn't in more than 20 years, you could eventually run out of cash to buy the rallies. As with anyone, I'd hate to see my investment values wither away for many years. However, barring an unprecedentedly poor economy, I belive that is unlikely. If OTOH it turns out that I am a terrible investor, the likelihood goes up dramatically... Randy
