Still trying to locate an ANALyst who is NOT BULLISH!!
CNBC rolling out all of the cheerleaders, me thinks this market has to go much lower until these talking head nimrods begin to talk about HOW MUCH MORE THE MARKET WILL FALL instead of the 2nd half optimistic bull.
And this earnings BS is DRIVING ME NUTS. Yeah, as long as MSFT makes a few billion in investment income they can bury that into the earnings gain. But if it's a loss, the jokers are now reporting earnings EXCLUDING investment losses. These companies and analysts want it both ways.
What a total joke. I ain't buyin' nothin' with these conditions and games. Are they actually fooling somebody? A. S. are you there?

meshedlo, You can now count me in as one who is not optimistic on the market. Even though I was holding only large cap techs, when you start seeing damage done to the midcaps like PMCS etc..., you realize that the large ones can't escape.
There just does not appear to be much money coming in to support this market and make it go higher.

I have just lightened up instead--more balanced and not concentrated in tech.
Tomorrow might be bad because of MSFT and if it is not bad, Monday may be scary. Only options expiration can keep the market high tomorrow.

It is a daytrader's market and not for people that are used to seeing momentum markets (like myself). The money inflows are just not there to support higher PEs anymore. Even if the economy recovers, there may not be much of a bounce in the market since money inflows appeared to have peaked in March 2000.

If there is a momentum market, one might be better off looking at Japan or Europe where the degree of investing in mutual funds and stocks is far lower.

One might be able to call my points as some sort of contrarian indicator just like Amots was kidding with me.

I agree there appears to be too much hope among mutual fund holders and others who hold stocks but not on margin. They are willing to wait it out while many others still appear to be learning about hedge funds and short funds...short interest in the market may still keep going up as there is really nothing out there that can shake the shorts.

I am not defending AS but .....

isn't it true all you do is take others picks and post them on Motley Fool as original ideas ??

At least AS, as much as I disagree with his views most of the time, stands on his own ....

Mish, watch your language, I was long BRCM today for a stretch (and even made money on both trades) and do not appreciate being called an "idiot", I am sure many other readers do not appreciate that as well.

What are you talking about? 50-100%? Maybe in a year or so if the economy can get back on track despite Bush, but I'm expecting no such gains anytime soon except perhaps from certain special dog situations with big news (like being bought out).
