Dipy, peace about the rubbing it in. I know it wasn't your style. As far as Brinker's predicting that far out, how can anybody possibly see 1 to 2 years out? How can you tell when to say he's right or not? Now? Back in March at the highs? I hate to say it about someone I used to like, but I really think he's trying to drum up business for both his radio show and his newsletter by going extreme. And, he's gone too far with his making up names for great companies like "vestal virgin". I wouldn't be surprised if some gender group (or Sun or Cisco) got after him for his garbage spewing on the air. Tony

Talk that "in fact, every major average is in negative territory YTD" ignores the fact that at the 8/9/2000 close, only the S&P500 Industrials is down, and all other S&P US Indices are up, led by Utilities up 31.53%, while 3 others (Financial, Midcap 400 and REIT) are up double digits.
