dooming and glooming, so what? tell me something new. Now's the time to think beyond that, so yes, your tea leave reading should be about what will happen after what you think is happening now. We all can dwell on now, but now will not gets us anywhere, since it's fact. The key to winning next year, is trying to come up with what will come out of all this, such as areas to invest in. I just do not buy into the end of the world as we know it talk. 5 months, and the bear will be long gone, the nethermost point is close at hand as it is. Correct me if I'm wrong, you still believe in bull markets, and one will happen again next year. If you don't then carry on and I'm sorry to have butted in. What I driving at is I would like to see you use your large gray matter in addressing what a new high-tech bull market will look like, other then gather up evidence to support what is obvious even to Mr. and Mrs. suburban investor who are last to know what hit them anyhow.

JW - There is growing anecdotal evidence here on SI that the recession is well under way. A post yesterday on the SNDK thread talks of half empty malls in CA when they have always been packed out at this time of year. My guess is that the slowdown is massive, growing and much bigger than anyone expects. Why? It just feels like it and for all the reasons I posted you yesterday. Yesterday the senior economist of MSDW was on CNN and they asked him if he thought FED would cut today. He said no since if there was a cut today the market would recover/bounce/rally (?) and that wouold lead to a further round of consumer spending and that is the last thing the Country need right now! IE Control of the economy by reducing peoples expectations by keeping the NAZ crashing to stop consumer spending in the US regardless of the consequences. Anyone else see it? Best regards, L
