The worst case would be that the bull continues until late next year, with the dow topping 13000, and then crashing big time, taking everyone including brokerages with it. If you survived being short all this time you might then have a problem cashing in. This article: Message 3816170 makes me really think. If the public can be fooled so completely about the real profitability of the market with the complicity of the SEC and others, then the only people who are going to have money in the end are the market makers and bandits. It looks to me that we might be playing right into their hands along with the longs.

Merrill Lynch a possible take over Will history repeat itselg again? Probably yes but we do not know when! Pancho
