JW..You're right this reminds me of the fall/winter of 1999, when stocks go up 35% in AH's.

I admit we were way oversold and everyones 401k looked more like a 201k. But these gains can't be sustained. I'm almost a believer that the bottom has been put in, but we need to produce smooth, steady and growing earnings.

The Fed is trying it's hardest to prevent us from feeling this crash, they are stealing from Peter to pay Paul.

If we can avoid more layoffs over the next 6 months then we can say the bottom is in.

I'm on your side, even though I went short overnight. We will gap up in the morning, but I believe some profit taking will come into play before the weekend...

All this is JMO......

PS
Maybe now I'll start to open my Prudential statements..LOL

JOHN W - Bad guess, I am actually in cash/bonds and have been for some time. But I still don't trust this rally.

If the S&P has made a major bottom at a forward P/E of 25+, that would be an historic event, but it's going to be one that I don't participate in.

Since you're right and I'm probably wrong about not piling my life savings in here this week, please remember to throw some change into my low interest rate tin cup when you print Dow 36000 next year.
