I can't help but think this is not the most attractive time to be heavily invested in equities given world economic conditions. Uncertainty is the enemy of the market, and we now have uncertainty with a bearish bias given the fundamentals recently revealing themselves. How long will the funds play the houses' games? The houses have the credibility of Gore/Clinton these days. Then again, most fund managers are not too bright when it comes to the markets as they cannot even beat the indexes, so you may have a point. I assume some of them did take economics classes in school though. Sure I know the vested interests involved in running this thing up, but at what point do some get cold feet and break rank? It's a casino and nothing more right now as far as I'm concerned. Self fulfilling bull market prophecies aside, IMO a strong or sustained rally does not make sense from a purely trading perspective...you must be sure this will not be another case of selling the news that all knew in advance and had a chance to buy already. Thanks for your response.
