The order and specific company names are not important. Say 18-24 months. If we do not believe that at least 25% of the headlines will come to pass within the next 18-24 months (time determined by recklessness of Maestro), we should start to accumulate stocks now, looking pass the valley of gloom. The sooner we see some of these headlines, the sooner we can get back to buying "for the long term". “GE Lays Off Another 5%” “GM Shuts SUV Lines” “S&P Downgrades Cisco” “Dow Sets Record Historic Decline On Record Volumn” “Major Fraud Discovered at …..” “Margin Panic” “Economic Cycle Rediscovered” “Productivity Index Misled for The Past 10 Years” “Social Security Under Funding Expected” “GE Capital Owes Up On Hidden Losses” “The House That Jack Left” “Threat Of War In The Middle East” “Russia Sharply Increases Arms Export To Save Economy” “Butter Healthier Than Margarine” (this one is true already) “Too Much Vitamin C Causes Brain Damage” (ditto) “Cellular Phone Radiation Is ….” “Japan to Save Economy By Increasing Defense Spending” “Global Economy Contracted 5% - Lead By US” “FED Lowers Discount Rate to 2.5%” “Corporate Bond Spreads at Historic Peak” “Euro Wobbles On Economic Disunity” “Dollar Implodes” “Amazon Defaults” “Congress Holds Hearing On The Cause Of Doom” “Gold Is Back” “Precious Metal Reappears On Business Week Where To Invest Your Money Issue” “CNBC Increases Time Reporting On Bonds” “NY Crime Rate Rises Sharply” “Trading Volume and Margin Loan Profit Down Sharply” “Lights Out At Ameritrade” “Many Blue Chips Trading at Replacement Value, Further Losses Not Expected” “Nasdaq Hits P/E 10, Early Recovery Not Expected” Chugs, Jay
