GST,re:"average...investors". Picture the 'food chain' in the 'investment world', where do 'average ... investor' stand? Case closed !!! Did you see that:'goldmanSach' was calling for the FED for 'MORE MONEY'. Never in history that an industry is so powerful of calling the shot. 0.75% to 1% of rate-cut, WOW, we certainly haven't seen enough of multi-arces Mansion. I wonder when will it show up in history as : 'Crime scences'. They are quite concentrated, I think Boca-raton is one of city with most 'crime scences', ie: the mansions with private 'mini-golf-course', private 'tennis court', private 'heli-port',.... Of course, the actual crime wasn't consumated at the said property, but visiting/seeing it would remind you the crime. As our beloved Craig said, USA is being trapped in a conspiracy, the wealth-transfer (on the surface), then power-transer,... eventually, the independence of USA.

For the average mutual fund investor how much do think they are down? 30-40%? From the 2000 high? I'd say more like 60-70%. I mean most mutual funds underperform the indexes right? My guess is absolutely no new money is coming into mutual funds from this class. I don't know... just guessing like everybody else. But I know people who own some tech stocks around here, something that was once $125./share and is now $2. They aren't going to sell now, it isn't worth it to them. So that group has already "capitulated". hey on another topic- have you seen recently somewhere, where Barton Biggs has said positive things about gold and the metals? I heard this (well it was something cut and pasted on a yahoo thread so no verification)... I'd love to read what he has to say. He was a bear in the late 90s, on stocks AND gold I thought. He recently went bullish on stocks so gold too would be interesting. L
