craig: i find myself in agreement with many of your points. The flies in the ointment are: 1. Too much of a move up all at once inviting profit taking. 2. An economy that might force companies to repeatedly warn -- saturating the airwaves with bad news that will have an impact once people realize that growth stocks without growth are going to be in trouble. 3. Mutual fund selling when folks get their statements and realize they have both tax liabilities AND capital losses. Having said all that, your points and the prospect of a Fed rate cut could give us enough of a rally to make some money. Thanks for your input and enthusiasm. Good luck.

craig i wish i could muster your jovial confidence. We will see a lot more earnings warnings in January. Earnings are slowing dramatically across the board, save for a few specific sectors. And earnings are what drive the market. regards, Victor
