I agree that this phase of the bear market probably will end later this month. We should then get a pretty good year-end rally. Until the third and most brutal phase of the bear begins early next year.

Ultimatums Risking Yom Kippur War II

With both Israeli and Palestinian leaders giving the other until sundown Monday to stop the escalating violence, the Middle East is anticipating the worst.
Vivid in the memory of both Israelis and Palestinians is what happened 27 years ago on this most solemn day of the Jewish new year, when a surprise Arab attack launched what came to be known as the Yom Kippur War.

This time, there were reports that several world leaders might be heading for the region to try to salvage a last-minute resumption of peace negotiations.

Reuters news service said there were unconfirmed reports that President Clinton had called for yet another summit meeting and was preparing to travel to Israel to use his influence.

It also said United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan is definitely going, to try to persuade the parties to act on a Security Council resolution – on which the United States abstained from voting – urging a U.N. investigation of the violence.

That resolution also sharply accused Israel of having brought on the renewed violence, and because of that Annan's intervention is not welcome among Israelis.

The Associated Press reported Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov would definitely visit the region Monday.

The one thing on which Palestinians and Israelis seem to agree is that unless the violence is ended – by the other side – on Monday evening, at the end of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, then the deadly street skirmishes would likely turn into full-scale war throughout the region.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak warned the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, that if the bloodshed, which has taken at least 84 lives in the past dozen days, does not cease by sundown Monday the peace negotiations would be terminated and he would instruct Israel's military forces to "act accordingly."
