Yes, it is sad... I read a few market analysts whom I respect, they've been absolutely right about these markets for as long as they've been around, the most accurate one has been in the business for about nine years, his forecast batting average is perfect... he thinks, based on earnings, it's very well within reason to see DOW 3000 and SP 300 by late 2010... he's very bearish and I think I believe him... it seems the trick is to get short and stay short, period, don't try to pick bottoms, don't try to buy for the coming rally, just stay short, and he's right... BTW, many companies are already cutting their dividends... so, even if these markets look ahead 10 months, it's still way too early to buy...

If he sells out of the market he has absolutely no chance to make it back in the market. If he holds he has "a" chance, no guarantees but at least he has a chance. He could always sell now and get lucky and buy back cheaper. The other side is he sells now thinking he will buy back later, the market runs away, and he can only buy 1/2 of what he once had.

Tough market, no easy answers. Even Warren Buffet seems to have capitulated now.

A new month, a new direction.
