Richard, right. >trough-to-peak price swings of 3X to 7.5X are not typical of a normal market?< I have reduced my expectations. A double in 2 years or so sounds quite good. Gottfried

OT-Richard and Thread, Anyone noticing that returns on money markets are diminishing to very low levels. How are folks on this thread maximizing income on non-stock market funds(apart from option writing) during this period? My friend the broker says folks move to bonds first, then a bit of junk, preferred stocks, equities paying dividends and ultimately back into the market. This is the reverse situation of an inverted yield curve and supposed to be quite bullish for stocks(ultimately). Old broker claims money flows are determined by this and in turn are the precursor of bull and bear markets. mike
