Interesting article on well-performing fund managers ... reminds me of one of Murphy's Laws of Combat: "The important things are simple, but the simple things are hard." cbs.marketwatch.com excerpt: Ten 'keys to beating the market' Kazanjian, who is a stock and fund analyst by trade, also summarized the wizards' views into 10 basic rules that investors should keep in mind when picking stocks and funds: Do your homework Rely on your instincts Stick with dominant industry leaders Rely on a good support team Concentrate your portfolio on a handful of your best ideas Follow a disciplined approach Buy good businesses, not gambling chips Have an exit strategy Never underestimate the importance of management Don't try to outfox the market Not a bad list of rules. While some are obvious, others are surprising. And obvious or not, they're all worth repeating. - Mitch

In the span of nine months, the Nasdaq index that was once the proxy for the bull market has lost 50 percent of its value. It's also down 38 percent this year. Tuesday's losses, if they hold for seven trading sessions, would give the index its worst annual performance since the creation of the Nasdaq Stock Market in 1971 Doesnt this look alot like the opposite of last year at 5K? This Greenspan collapse today after the man does more than he usually does seems bogus. Stock manipulation going on to keep the sells going to market while the big boys get ready to feast on these reduced prices at our expense. Somewhere soon there WILL be a bottom established. It probably will come after a morning debacle in stocks which might even happen tomorrow morning and then it will be time to buy. Who will have the guts? or the money?
