(blame those hanging chads!!!)whining by so many different people in all areas of life!!! that there is, and has been, a tremendous amount of risk in the market that has been ignored since last September. all of life involves risk . Everything in life involves taking a risk...whether you're walking across the street, deciding to invest, starting a business, getting married, having children, getting divorced. There are no guarantees in life, and everyone, every day faces various risks. Investing in the stock market IMO is just one "risk" to add to the list. read the analyst views on QCOM and look for the one that has an $82 target. And of course, as long as there are stocks that people "refuse to sell", we can't be at the bottom. always find stubborn people <g> who say "enough"...and refuse to sell. IMO there are investors who own a diversified portfolio, who believe that the best place to "put their money to work" is in the "ownership" of U.S. companies through investing. These investors don't want to invest in gold bars, gold mining companies, foreign markets or bury their cash in their backyards. They are willing to take the risk/reward of investing in U.S. companies, during these stressful times.
