surely nobody here is arguing against that George -- it's more what track we take to get there, right?

YEs, George, but FIRST the conditions to keep everyone in to the dying end must be reinforced, and that is precisely what this rally is doing: dip buyers rewarded and B&Hers saying "see, never sell when its falling, never!"
I think some more work to the upside will do this to perfection. Then it can fall to the bottom and only after severe punishment will those people cry uncle and we really flush, like WCOM today. IMO.

GSC - At a real bottom people truly hate stocks and vow never to repeat the folly of buying equities after suffering savage losses. Still think the entire market must go down for the count (not just the NAZ) to create the kind of fear needed for a good bottom.

What utter crap.

Confidence and recovering economy is what drives markets upward. We have now seen more signs of recovery. Maybe not yet vivislbe in all the companies by certainly in an increasing number of them.

Best,

L

George S Cole.....

What kind of negative market psychology could one expect when the Fed has allowed the creation of many new forms and with existing forms greater incentives in savings of investment IRA's over the last few years;401k's,414's 403's 457's ect;Educational IRA's ? Point being,historical measures of true Bear markets go out the window when the government and wall street become good bed fellows. That is not to say that we will not face a strong Bear,( we already have)but the Bear hype created on this thread is well over done. Exactly where we trade in the next year or so will surprise many. Those expecting a major sell off may in turn be left wondering why it never occurred.
Just me thoughts!

Ken Fischer must live on Mars. In my neck of the woods clients are generally asking to give reasonable insurance on the likelihood of the return of their principal. The "B" word (for bonds) is no longer foreign to them.

People can interpret what they will from client attitudes. I wouldn't hang my hat on that one!
