You seem to want to think that a bear market can not be long and painful.
Forgive my spelling.

It is very posible that we are headed for a 12-18 bear market. One where the best stocks drop 20-25%. others could be down as much as 70-90%.
I am not preaching here. I just find it intresting how people don't consider this in their investment horison. When stocks correct that much, how you think you will handle the situation, you will handle the situation very differently because all the outside influencual factors will be vastly different from what they are today.

This will happen, sooner or later, When I don't know.

Many folks thought the october meltdown was a great long term buying oppertunity. well Dell is about back there, INTC,CPQ are below there. The OTC market is back there.
