Maria B. just about everyday in the last few weeks: "This is not a stock market...it is a market of stocks. As long as you choose the right ones,you'll be okay" Money heaven must be overcrowded with the right stocks by now.

A hope chest addition? "The stock will go up with earnings, because year over year comparisons are gonna be so easy" (started at some point in 2001, but I don't recall when. Also, Allan, one of your hopes on your list "Real Estate will keep going up." doesn't yet deserve a place on your list. Up til now, at least here in LA, real estate has continued to fly like an internet stock. In fact, the Silicon Valley is even showing improvement of late, though that is one market where the "hope" was not realized. LA, though, hasn't had a blip down in years and years now. Once they do, you can re-instate that one. the freep

Monster short-covering rally At the bottom of the market, the reverse has occurred. Only instead of day traders, the short sellers -- the majority in the form of hedge-fund managers -- accelerated the lows. Both sets of players are excited by the extremes. Fortunately, there are less short sellers than day traders and history is on the side of day traders because the market ultimately goes up. Before this recent bull rally began, SEC chief Harvey Pitt, who has been called lax by market watchers, made noises about putting restrictions on the short selling. He feared the damage they could do if their numbers exploded because of their success. A depressed market undermines the dollar, eventually taking foreign capital out of our stocks and bonds. The SEC stands ready to rewrite the rules and keep the playing field even. examiner.com
