So do I, LD. The cycle guys I read are all seeing a cycle high around January first, which portends a slide for the rest of the month. Time to do some research and thread mining. i'll be back.

LD: From Hahn's site, posted last night. This speaks to your post with regard to mutual funds. You're in good company: One of the difficult situations for the NASDAQ market was the shareholder redemption of aggressive growth mutual funds. In addition, mutual funds closed out their fiscal year on Thursday, November 30, which may have been a termination of tax loss selling. While this is not a guarantee of an immediate recovery in this MF group, some selling pressure may be relieved. One final thing happens to some mutual fund shareholders...they may receive a taxable gains statement on funds like this in spite of experiencing YTD losses in their NAV. Unfortunately, this disagreeable event may cause additional sales.

longdong: Thx for zeroing in on this... ...possibility. Question: assuming many (most?) individual investors via 401Ks, employers' pension plans, etc. didn't sell their MFs at March highs, they wouldn't realize cap gains, correct? By 'redemption,' you mean selling the fund, correct? (Are these stupid questions? <g>) This is a rough place to be ... sell out now and miss rate easing or hang on to dead or dwindling long positions for no rate cut for, what, six? nine? 12? months? I'm having trouble visualizing anything inbetween these polar extreme, dire possibilities. 'b-i-a' ###
