limtex the pessimist, re: "I'd love to be wrong. Pls tell me what possible releif there can be for at least nine months." How about if the economy improves, even slightly, over the next 30 days? What if the companies that issued dire guidance come out and say things have picked up a little, and earning will be a few cents above expectations? The one thing I've learned in my 51 years on this planet is that things are VERY RARELY as bad as they seem when they are bad, and VERY RARELY as good as they seem as they seem when they are good. Take a break from your lousy attitude. Have some fun, buy some stock. If you win, great. If you lose, so what. Life is short, that's something to really be depressed about. John

It just feels different this time, can't explain it. To me it feels different because it's just been too d*mn good for too long. I'm not buying that "end of the business cycle" hooie for a moment, which means that at some point we have to pay for the amazing decade we just went through. I don't believe Attilla is going to come riding over the hills to rape and pillage us, but a nice sharp recession is way overdue. Besides, we need it. Judging by the incredible incompetency at my local supermarket, the labor pool needs some serious weeding-out.

Disagree Violently re: Mr G Mr. G did not cause the rampant speculation that doubled the nasdaq from 2,500 to 5,00 in just 12 months. You must have a severe case of myopia to not see that. The economy was fine, but being hyper-charged by greed lust, and every company in America was over producing capacity to fill a fairy-tale demand. Not the mention the wild speculation in internet issues. Companies that would never earn a dime being given billion $ valuations overnight. And you choose to blame Mr. G.... how convenient it is to find a scapegoat instead of putting the blame squarely where it belongs.
