Dwight,

It is a shame we don't have a bulletin board here so we could post discussions under certain categories... then we could just refer to the category every time we got back to a particular issue.

In this case, the category is "WHY THE MARKET CAN'T GO ANY HIGHER!" And this category has baffled most of us for years. Just when us old geezers are seeing a return to "traditional" market responses to various economic and other inputs, investors go out and fool us again! Jeez, I don't know how to stop them. But SOMEBODY is responsibily and I think the problem is us.

So when you present the case for a lower market, I have to agree with you but that doesn't change my forecast... this baby is going higher! And I don't think anything you or I can say about it will make any difference. And by your last paragraph, I think YOU recognize the market forces and understand it is the markets and not we that are right!

BTW, I may decide to go to the next month out for my options trade... it looks like the weakness we saw yesterday afternoon may continue today and it is getting awefully close to EXPIRY to buy May options.

<ggggg>

Bill

Dwight, before when earnings were rising much higher it was good for
stocks, because earnings wee increasing. Now that earnings aren't increasing as fast as the stocks are, its good for stocks because the economy is slowing. There are two sides to every coin that gets tossed and only the mafia knows which will be predominant.
