Brian, If "the ship is likely to sink" while: inflation is almost nonexistent; a situation of more than "full" employment exists; the GDP (and earnings) continues to grow; money is flowing into the market; the traditional alternatives (bonds, real estate) offer dismal return prospects; and, equities are at or approaching their lows for P/Es, PSRs, P/Book, etc; I would probably resemble a Titanic passenger and be one of the last ones heading for the lifeboats. Bear-ons is notorious for finding a bearish slant for nearly every situation. Ian.
