Frank..people say their losses are only paper losses.Have you ever heard of such ignoramuses.A death certificate is "paper",too and it's real.It scares me to think that the public has not gone into an uproar over all the money that's been stolen by the inactions of the Fed.Whoever said the public votes with their pocketbook.I wouldn't want to be a real estate agent in Manhattan or Jersey Shore the rest of the year.

Frank, After reading your post I have come to the conclusion that this market is nearing the bottom. Understand something, the only reason that this so called 'lack of confidence' exists is that the big players (Like Fidelity and others)have been trying to force the little shareholders into believing that the end of the world is near. The end isn't near in fact the bottom is near and soon the growth engines that make up the technology sector will drive to new highs. Do I feel that Cisco will lead the charge? No! Frankly, I feel that the next wave of technology growth is going to emerge from companies like Texas Instruments (TXN) and Analog Devices (ADI). Companies who make the chips that will drive the optic and DSP forces that will make the Internet and PC revolutions dwarf in comparison. So please don't give up on the market as a whole. Simply re-evaluate where this market will go from here. If it means cutting your loses on companies that might follow the resurgence of the market instead of leading then so be it. I think that Cisco will do fine in the long-term but with the huge market cap that they have currently I feel that there are better companies out there to invest into now. Good Luck, Steve

OK, I think it is now sufficiently gloomy for me to be positive :) Dow 36000? It's Still a Good Bet. If you put $2,000 in the market in 1950 and let it sit, then today those same stocks would be worth $1.2 million. If you put $2,000 in bonds in 1950, then today you would have $25,000. With such a difference, does what happened in 1949 matter? interactive.wsj.com Copyright © 2001 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
