OT ** GE under $7. Also, the Apple ad here nytimes.com takes up half the screen and annoys me I think I'll walk the dog before the rain resumes :)

Thanks Don for pointing the way back to that post. Message 25414155 I knew Amateur Investors had picked out some possible levels for the S&P 500 to fall to that I had shared. I just did not remember where those levels were at. 625 and even as low as 428 for the S&P 500. One of the savviest investors I know just told me this morning that she thought the Dow could fall as low as 4000. She been in cash except for gold and some other precious metals for a long time now. Wish I was that confident that the market was headed lower but at least I am still over 60% in cash. The 40% that was invested looks like crap. RtS

Don, It appears that the market is prepared to discount much(all?) of the productivity gains that tech advances made possible in the 1990s. This doesn't make any sense to me, but the businesses that benefited most from those productivity gains are precisely the ones in the most trouble today. These businesses turned a windfall productivity gain into massive greed/fraud to further enhance their agendas, but now they're paying for it. Many are, or should, pay the ultimate price... bankruptcy. Saw a sobering statistic this evening. One could spend $1M per day for 2000+ years, and still not spend what Obama has spent in the past 6 weeks.($800B) A million dollars went very far in the time of Jesus. Merely a comfortable retirement, now. Woody
