RE:"If you believe Intel's projections, it's not great but the bottom isn't falling out. Other information supports that, a flat market" Predictions? Intel has no economic crystal ball. They can project all they want. I have no faith in them. "As soon as it turns we'll be in a great position" only works if it turns soon enough". I've told you many times, the only two things holding up this economy are real estate and auto sales at 0% interest. This will end and it will be like pulling the pull on the bath tub drain. The reason I see the downturn being long and protracted is that Real Estate is relatively illiquid compared to stocks. When it turns it will take a long time to grind down. Not unlike Japan. Did you know that 40% of home mortgages in Japan are underwater? Yeah, sure, I get criticized for taking the negative stance but look what's happened and what's happening. Jim
