Yes, at the very end of 2003-2007 bull, the Nasdaq index went
up on essentially 3 stocks - Apple, google, and Research in
Motion. These 3 contributed more than 50% of 2007 gains. So,
the breadth can get very sucky before the indexes actually roll. -g-

P.S. The Fed now owns about 9% of US mortgages. The ones that
don't pay, I assume. Pretty good collateral for the dollar, as
this is more than 50% of their balance sheet. -g-

The volume in the stock market is huge. This is not my idea
of a bear bottom, and I agree with this article. The opposite
of a mania in anything is apathy, not a crash.

Granted, there are a lot of machine trades these days, but
the trading volume in stocks signals a mania rather than a
secular bottom, wherever that mania might be. Maybe derivatives,
high frequency trading, etc.
