Hi Chris! I've been reading through a few posts at SI and BOY IS EVERYONE BEARISH! This weekend I reread a paper I wrote for my graduate investments class. In the paper, I stressed the importance consumer sentiment played in the markets, and how that sentiment could turn on a dime. My paper came to the conclusion, however, that in the end it was earnings, not consumer sentiment, that drive stock prices. The point is, look through all the emotional BS around us and find stocks that have strong earnings growth rates. Employ this strategy when things look bad and you will come out a winner. In short, have the vision to see the opportunity while others are running for the hills. Later on you will be looked upon as a visionary. Look at the earnings growth rate for companies like IBM, MSFT, INTC and others. In one word: Phenomenal!! Buy these companies now and hold on to them until you are 30 and you will find that there is no better investment on earth. :) DOW 10,000 by 2000 (that's just 7% a year compounded given current levels). - Dave
