Form the URL you posted... The very first line created a great image for me... NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street rules for survival: Don't try to catch a falling knife, and never try to hold on to a falling safe. "falling safe" as in ... My stock is "WCOM" (or fill in the blank, "_________" as in LU, ENRON, WCOM, XRX, etc. ), I will be "safe" As the hefty "safe" plunges on Willie Coyote's head... lol

Hi Dale -- NASDAQ 1000 ? Anything's possible when mob psychology rules. Throw in the towel ? Doesn't he mean throw in the tattered remains of what was a towel 2 years ago ? lol As long as interest rates are low, unemployment remains below 6% - 6.5%, Japan doesn't go belly up, and we get no repeats on 9/11/2001, the markets should be near bottom -- give or take a few hundred points, lol. Where it will most likely stay for a few years, lol. Here's an interesting look at the S&P 500: siliconinvestor.com At this point, since 1995 the S&P has increased 100% in 7.5 years. That's 10% on average which is the historical norm. I'm not saying that the markets have bottomed, I'm just saying that the odds are improving that a few years down the road, the markets will be higher than they are now. By the way, the MACD part of the chart still says stay away. As for the S&P 500's sky high PE ratio -- well that's easily fixed. Just swap out the money losing dogs of the S&P with some boring companies that are profitable and Viola !! Instant decent valuations !! lololol Regards, Chris
