Greg: Maybe the way we look at this period of "consolidation" is to get our asset Allocation in line with reason rather than hopeful expectations? How many of us are way overloaded in equities compared to the "110 less your age" allocation rule? (explained pretty well here suite101.com How many of us keep saying "let er ride just a bit more" before we reallocate some of our spectacular gains to fixed income? Being only 40 yrs old and 95% in equities and off the fast track at work but doing really interesting research, I find it hard to switch from such a winning formula even though prudence says I should be 30% fixed or more to lock in my gains. Dippy: If Paula only got $100K, then she was underpaid. I imagine the magazines pay orders of magnitude more. I'm far from right wing (mostly a civil Libertarian and fiscal conservative), but I remember a quote from Billy Graham where he said something to the effect of "... inorder to not tempt fate - I am never in a room alone with any woman other than my wife thus there can be no hint or accusation of improper behavior." Key word is "alone". There are enough people in the Whitehouse for the Prez to easily follow this rule and not put women at a disadvantage as far as access goes. regards Kirk out

On Sunday, BB also said we might see a pullback of 1, 2, 3 or 4%. And this would be healthy, laying the groundwork for the market to move higher. -- Alan

Greg, Bob has said that if the bond yield gets down to 5.5% or lower this would propel the market to new highs...he also stated that his range of Dow 8600-8800 are minimums. In the last couple of days the bond yield has gone above 6% and the market barely noticed. Here is an interesting related link. gruntal.com As Bob mentioned over the weekend this Fridays report will be watched with great interest.
