Yes, I agree, in fact I still have my entire long portfolio completely intact, I'm just short the SP futures enough to make me more short than long so I could take the sell signal... I'm also looking for much higher market levels for the rest of this year, the SP's have a measured move to around 1240, that would be nice... but, all my indicators are now in the red for a rally and green for a short, also the cash SP has been hovering around the 1002 level you mentioned before, we both know the significance of that price, that price should have stopped the rally sooner, and it finally did... the fact that it took so long for 1002 to stop the rally is testimony to the strength of this market, it's very impressive... and then yesterday a sell signal was finally triggered and then confirmed on the close... one has to be short for the time being until the next buy signal is triggered... for today, that would be a close above 1007.00 in the futures...<g> GZ

in his most recent Gloom Boom & Doom Report Dr. Marc Faber discusses different aspects of the inflation-deflation debate. In interviews over the last year Dr. Faber has warned that inflation will be the end-game, but rarely has he gone into detail on the deflationary aspects of the ecomomy. In his most recent report, he spends quite a bit of time analyzing the near-term potential for deflation and long-term hyperinflation. If deflationists are right (and they could be right in the near term, in my opinion), then the US government bonds and the dollar will rally, while stocks, commodities, real estate, and lower-quality corporate bonds will tank. But if I am very confident about making one predicition, it is that, if we have further deflation in the immediate future, there will be not one more, but many more stimulus packages and further massive monetisation. So, government debt-to-GDP could easily double within five years. Now, does anyone seriously think that the dollar and government bond prices wouldn’t at some point begin to reflect concerns about the financial condition of the US under these conditions? source: Marc Faber, Gloom Boom & Doom Report, August 2009, p. 10-11 Dr. Faber points out that deflation is definitely a near-term concern, but as soon as a deflationary spiral occurs, he suggests the stimulus packages involving bailouts and monetization of debt will be rampant. Deflation’s time frame will be very limited: …if the deflationists are right, it will only be for a limited period of time — in my opinion, a maximum of one year but more likely much less… So, for those out there waiting for a massive correction / collapse in stocks and commodities, be ready to pull the trigger when it happens, because there won’t be too much time for the markets sitting at the bottom before another “rally” ensues.
