I read that a week or so ago, while I can agree with part of it, he has used only facts taht support his doom and gloom, much like the boom and soon type pundits. It's true we have a lot of negatives going on, and the latest one is crude going up. But all those negatives will eventually give birth to something new. Necessity is the mother of invention. --------- Also the Gov still has a hat trick or two it can still pull off. I'm looking for the tax on dividends to get killed, and that will do a lot to re-arrange the shape of the market. Then over time as BKs do their thing it leaves fewer stocks left standing and the consolidation kicks in. For the most part I'm short term; long/or/short so the longer term can take care of itself. Also because of my age by 2005 I'll be out of the stock game altogether, with limited investments in bonds, & local real estate. ------------ It's all relative as long as a person don't go broke.( Power=money )but not necessarily the other way around, at least not all the time. ---------- And We are never any more secure than our closest friends.
