You're terrifying us, Softechie. Actually there is zero (or less than zero) inflation and that should continue for quite some time. This frees the Fed to keep cutting. Tax cuts only cause inflation if they are deficit-financed and so far we have a large surplus to offset that. Capital gains tax cuts alone will spur the market considerably. Estimates and expectations are greatly lowered and much easier to beat. This is happening before your eyes but you're still looking backwards. Yes there are shorting opportunities. But the general direction is still up. Back up. Little by little. It's all going to get better sooner than you think. If Greenspan has anything to say about it (and he will) the recession will be history by next quarter. So if this month is the last of it would you rather be buying or shorting? I prefer to buy low and sell higher. PS - despite enormous short pressure and negative news spins CSCO and SUNW both held after hours with only about 3% losses. If three's any big dip tomorrow, buy and/or cover into it. IMHO always of course.
