John, the Richard Russell interview is just another piece of journalism that is timely. Timely because it makes for an interesting headline "Dow 2500 anyone?" - even though that is Russell's worst case as shown in the chart. Does anyone really expect the Dow to lose another 75%? I think Jacob's stance of waiting for a clear reversal of trend in the indices is prudent for loss aversive investors. They'll miss the first 20% [a guess] of possible gains from the bottom, but will be safer. As of now, the NYSEbp has not reversed up - and that is one of the more reliable indicators. Yes, a little TA comes in handy now.

John: companies are moving away from dividends

INTC with appropriate dividends would have been very nice for investors, I think.
Nearly all INTC investments (apart from x-86-CPUs and chipsets) are generating losses.

Why not paying dividends, if you're unable to invest in profitable business fields?
