Why do people continue to say this? <The time to buy in at points of maximum pessimism and great uncertainty.> When old wives tales are told over and over again my guess is they are simply accepted as fact when not really thought out first.

Brian, You're probably right. There are so many bears on the sector right now that it probably won't take much news to start a major rally. I don't know of any analyst still touting the sector; and most of the bulls have become strangely quiet. Buying during the Mutual Fund Window Dressing peak selloff of the sector (today and tomorrow) is probably a very astute move. Good luck, Ian.
