They might push the indexes into green today, in spite of $68 oil, punk retail sales, rising interest rates, etc etc.

When the big players sense the upside is looking grim, and they have their short positions in hand, that is when it will drop.

There is also the wild card scenario to consider, as in something really unexpected and nasty drops in from left field and causes panic.

"This market has become a classic buy and hold market."
Could be and most of what you say makes sense. However, one does tend to get a gut feel in this business and more often then not, I have regretted not following that gut. I'm not short and I have kept sizeable positions in non domestic funds as well as in gold, oil, healthcare and biotech, However, I have sold virtually all of my non-sectored diversified S&P type funds and continue to raise cash.
I was bullish big time 2 years ago when most were calling for a 10 year bear. It was a gut feeling and I made money.
My belief is that the issues we are facing are more than a "wall of worry". I could easily be wrong.
