far ahead! <g> Sure took the NY Times a while to pick that one up... Just saw that Marketwatch dude Calandra on the Marketwatch tv show on CBS, he sure surprised me with his bearishness. I don't see the show often though so not sure if this is a big change. Suggested deflation is a growing concern, big ticket item sales like cars are dropping and consumers are tightening their belts, and due to the drop in big ticket item sales he expects another round of big job losses. He came out and said this is no time to invest, the Cisco move up was total BS and he thinks ALL investors should have 5-10% of their portfolios in gold. I bet that gives it a pop on the open tomorrow am! and I think he said tech should basically be avoided for now. And that is what J6P just heard as they spit their coffee all over the New York Times Mutual Fund quote page as they checked their 401ks <vbg> I was talking to a friend Friday night who pays no attention to his mutual funds. He said he used to have them in a portfolio and stopped looking at them, he couldn't bear to watch. Last week he deleted the portfolios off his home page. (!) What you can't see can't hurt? LOL! Amazing how some feel they have no choice but to stay put. Liquidating or rotating to other funds or even cash does not occur to them.
