I continue to lose what little respect I had for Alan Newman. He continues to downplay real estate problems and does not even expect a 10% market correction this year. Perhaps I am missing something, but not a single market forecaster I am aware of (even Faber) is predicting anything more than a 10% correction at the very worst. The few bears left have morphed into teddy bears.

OT: Vonnegut:With a sadness but a peace too i report that Kurt Vonnegut died this day, 4/11/2007. His tour of duty done. You gave much Kurt right to the end but i know you were ready, you wanted release.Now you know all the secrets:) i wrote this but 2 days ago, but i edit what i wrote as 85 to 84. <<To: shades who wrote (65036) 4/9/2007 12:46:14 PM From: max90 Read Replies (1) of 65090 i do not believe in the phrase "senior citizen" . When i was in my teens i was reading an essay of thoughts that were from obviously a vivid electric vital mind. There was a footnote at the end of this essay that its author Goethe was 82 at the time of its writing( written very near his death, actually) ******************** i am 5'8" 152 pounds and i think the word "wiry" could be applied to my physical aspect.So i kind of wince when you conjure up an image of me tottering with cane to collect the mail.:) KURT Vonnegut,jr, btw, is now 84, and since his being a near lifetime heavy smoker is now catching up to him, i feel KURT has little time left, he having had a bout with pneumonia and with emphysema digging in , but his mind will be flashing sparks of vitality until his last breath. Rather than i joining you on the stupid bench why don't you come here and sit with me on the We do NOT go Gently into the Night bench:)>> All his writings are still in print, now that says something. Max, with my deepest respect.
