I have to agree with Softechie, but I'm wrong just about half the time, my strategy is to make more when I'm right than I lose when I'm wrong. This slowing economy is not going to help stocks with super high p/e's low rates or not. In Japan when the bubble burst rates went practically to zero eventually, but it did not help the market much. I realize we are fighting a lot of history being short here (I'm long some low p/e or p/s stocks)as the market has historically risen in the 1st qtr, in the wake of an interest rate cut, January Effect, etc.. But the average investor already knows that, the time of maximum pain is usually when the exception to the rule happens. Today could go either way, considering the nazdaq futures were up almost 400 yesterday it is a good sign for longs that this mornings feint downward was so shallow. Over the long term (this month and next)I will look to sell the rally in high fliers, and look for some new ideas where it is less crowded.
