why is the market going up lately? My guess... This is the set up for the mother of all market crashes. Anyhow, the economic numbers are saying we are improving but then the market already told us they would be improving when it began rising about six months ago. Even though there are no signs of inflation (according to the Fed), I notice that my paycheck doesn't stretch nearly as far. I think they are lying about the numbers and this house of cards is going to blow over soon. It's all going to come tumbling down and there is nothing Shrub can do about it. His irresponsible policies are going to do him in. It's only nature following it's natural course. We have a stupid man at the helm because it was time for a stupid man to be at the helm. It's all in the waves of nature, dude. The market is in the end of its colorful autumn of its life with winter soon to follow. You want a picture? A road map? Or a timetable perhaps? Mine looks similar to this guy's... ess.ucla.edu (You can scroll down about halfway if you don't feel like doing much reading.) I stopped trying to time it perfectly. Instead I bought some '04 and '05 crash puts as insurance against a terrible economy. I'll need it if it gets that bad. But anyhow, I'm not worried. Just sort of planning on what to do when money gets tighter. How can I help those who will take this hard? Maybe I'll become a song and dance man. We can start up a Vaudeville act or something... Got any idears? -BobHopesCandyStripedSuit
