<font color=red>THE BIG PICTURE</font>

Everything today is quick and fast. Immediate gratification. The big picture makes all these ups and downs insignificant. The Dow at the 2000 mark is exactly where the Nikkei was on the 1990 mark. Just erase the red line, change the 1990 mark to 2000, the 1995 to 2005, and the 2000 to 2010. Then, the big bold heading at the top of the chart that says, "NIKKEI 225 INDEX" -- change that to "DOW". Now you can sit back and see the future. Not exact, but following a 17-year bull, and with the debt and current valuations in place, close enough for government work (actually, a lot closer than government work today).

Slider:

Although I continue to strongly differ with your take on Iraq and the Middle East, I agree totally that this is just a bear market rally and that we will see new lows in the major averages by early next year.

The rally may have already peaked. Japan down 3% last night and the rest of Asia weak with the notable exception of China.

a retail broker here who never bought into the "mania" tells me, finally, it has become possible to counsel some clients into selling (selling stuff they wanted to buy against their broker's advice)...

Slider & All,
Tape on spot gold this morning indicates, IMHO, an attempt at holding POG down (while trying to hold mkt up?), with 313 spot the resistance. Breach of 313 spot (on the bid) will give us a pop.

Anyone care to guess how far such a pop will go???

Best,
Roebear

The Global economy is worse, not better.

The US Economy is worse, not better...no real change in Cap Ex Spending, or Earnings...


Job Risk/Fear is worse, not better.

Mortgage Rates are now and may continue to be; worse, not better.

The Risk of ramping Crude Oil Prices, is greater, not less.

The Risk of another significant domestic Terrorist Act - is greater, not less.

The Account Deficit is greater, not less.


All of these things will continue to be true when the bottom does, finally, arrive. What are you going to use to differentiate now from then?
