I am talking INVESTMENT point of view, NOT quickie daytrade or swingtrade shorts. Then please tell me the merit of going long at this time. And please don't regurgitate the CNBC commentator stuff that is total BS designed to part fools from their money. e.g., 1)the prices have come down XXX percent and are therfore a bargain 2)the market can't go down 4 years in a row 3)it's only IRAQ that's holding up the next bull market etc. The truth IMO is that we are nearer record highs than record lows with regard to Price:Book, Price:Cash Flow, Price:Dividend Yield, you name it. So please make me your fundamental case for going long. best... LIG

lifeisgood..you are welcome. Short away. And in the process of you grabbing $$$$$$ into your bank account, please donate $100 or so to: American Diabetic Association Battered Women's Shelters Adoption agencies etc. I have a better idea. Instead of you gambling your long money away in a bear market, why not donate some of it to these worthy charities yourself instead of to the greedy market makers? This would seem the most direct way to get your money into the right hands. Alternatively, I could short some stock, you could long it, and I'll have to pay taxes on the capital gains before I give it to charity (I don't itemize). Therefore, my idea makes more sense because your money then makes it to the charity and uncle sam doesn't tax it first. best... LIG
