RtS, As we keep hearing all the time in the media recently, these are turbulent times. A lot of decisions are being made now, and more in the next several months that will affect the stocks market. However, IMO the market will be "choppy" and trending sideways over the next 2 to 3 months until the period of summer vacations being over and the education system starting up again. This should take us to the Sept/Oct area. Then we have another big event coming up in November, called the election of all elections.<BG> I don't know when the market will start responding to predicted or actual election results, but I think it will be in one direction or the other, either up or down. As we have discussed quite extensively on this thread, there are many "big" factors that can change this market direction. The European economic condition, jobs, housing, etc are all very important. Having said that, I will "guess" that the market will trend sideways into the fall(Sep/Oct) and then rally much as it did last year at that time to trend to the upside. Now that I sold my remaining MU today, I am all cash and waiting for a "good" bottom to set in and when I think the uptrend has begun, I will "dive in" and hope to make a few dollars. Even with all the negative things that can happen to keep the market down, there is a huge, huge amount of cash waiting to jump into the market. The market "gurus" as a whole still think there is great "relative value" in the stock market. Here is an excerpt from Dick Green of Briefing.com from Page One of today's commentary. <<It has been a choppy and nerve-wracking ride for the US stock market the past two months, but the S&P 500 is still up 5.0% for the year, and it is arguable that a better base of demand has been formed the past few weeks.>> Don
