<<Bulls and Bears evenly balanced. Advantage bears, since we always need a bit up upside just to break even . sig>> Will have to disagree and say that currently the bears have grabbed the MO MO in this very long ball game. Lately, almost every rally is met with substantial selling...people are using these rallies to get out and lock in profits...big boys are not rushing out buying right now....Insider selling was very high mid to end of 03 and beginning of 04... Looking at the current status of things, I see far too many negatives and not many positives and it doesn't look like things will change. The economy has not come back like people said it would a year ago, and in fact, it looks as bad as ever. Less Jobs, more layoffs, lousy consumer spending, lousy consumer confidence,, world turmoil, rising gas prices......So much good is already priced into equities, the street simply is not happy with what they are hearing from the larger % of companies..... What are the positives to drive us higher, with all those negative FUD clouds hanging over us??? I just dont see many positives in the near future....all those negatives are not going to change overnight and will hang over this market like a vulture waiting for it's dinner. Bull at heart and hope somehow the market can blow off negatives and push higher, but my opinion is we are going lower......the question in my mind is how low and how long will it last...I typical correction and I wont change much..stay about 40 or 50% cash and the rest vested, ready to buy after the correction....but if it is going to be a massacre, I'd just assume move to 100% cash ( 401k's, IRA's and etc, I would let ride) until it is over.....but, as we all know, I have no clue how this plays out <g>...I am not a seer and cannot predict the future, so am left with keeping a close eye on things and hopefully making the right decisions at the right times.......
