Brandon: I am STILL amazed at the number of ANAL-ysts who are paraded before the cameras at CNBC and CNNfn telling Ma and Pa Investor to just "hold on" and "invest for the long term". Ironically, the only "analyst" who "got it right" was (appropriately) not an analyst -- he was Marc Cuban, the internet high-flyer who sold his company to Yahoo. He was guest host last Friday AM with Mark Haynes on CNBC. When asked what he was investing in, his response was (in effect): "Are you kidding? I'm 100% cash." He elaborated that there are no stocks to own in a bear market and he was most concerned about preserving his capital.

"The pols can't do anything about it." You mean a $300 tax rebate won't outweigh $5 trillion in market losses?<g>
You are correct, of course. And that goes for A.G., George W., and anyone else, for that matter, in my opinion. They can't do anything about it.
So, the best strategy, IMO, is to bet against companies that have poor fundamentals. The good news is that's about 80 percent of listed stocks, so they're not hard to find.
