The companies that will be successful will be the ones with innovative concepts and solid business plan and the leadership to carry the plan out. Excellent observation, John. Personally, I think this shakeout in the blue chips is welcome and overdue. It is the overvalued large companies that are going to have the roughest time over the next few quarters. The smaller companies have already been beaten down. The survivors will be those who are innovative, who exploit niche markets, and who have a product that saves money. With international rates as high as $10 per minute, and with the money crunch, VoIP at pennies or even quarters a minute is a natural alternative. As far as Russia, MHO is that the financial crisis will be resolved, but at the expense of further democratization. I belive we will see a return to socialist or even communist control over certain segments of the economy. So the political problem is what I worry about more than the financial. In countries like this, people will usually pull their money out of the banks, but that does not mean that the wealth dries up, it just goes elsewhere, gold or whatever. One final thought. If everyone pulled out of the market and went into cash or bonds, there would be no way for the banks to pay investors any interest unless they invested the money. It is a self-correcting system. Cash might swell for a while, but eventually that cash has to go to work to earn interest. It goes into companies that are growing the economy, and as these companies prosper, the money flows back out of cash and into stocks. That is what keeps our economy in balance.

I think the shock of us going back to 6400 would be the thing that turns the average person away from the stock market. The current bubble will pop, and things will be different. Russia, in and of itself, is a minor player in this drama. It is the spectacle of country after country falling into financial ruin that has Wall Street worried. The U.S. is riding high now, but for how long? Consider: Russia borrowed billions and billions from German banks that likely won't be repaid now. What will happen in Germany because of that? If Germany get roiled, what happens to the rest of Europe? It's all a big house of cards, and a slight breeze is starting to blow....when the gale hits, watch out! Rick

I agree, John: >> I think the major difference we will see is that " The rising tide will not lift all the boats" as the DOW has done so far. The companies that will be successful will be the ones with innovative concepts and solid business plan and the leadership to carry the plan out. << The stock market "parade" of 20%+ gains has ended for now. That means only the BEST companies will be worthy of investing in. A microcap like DGIV has held up well in this broad-ranging Market debacle and it has done so without any boost from: NEWS CONTRACTS & FINANCIALS. In the OTC sector, THAT IS UNHEARD OF. As far as BIG BOARDS go, I was fortunate enough to be forced to sell 90% of my Big Board stocks at the beginning of the week (Thank You God!) because I am closing on some mountain property next week. (Yippee!) And I'm happy to say that it was only necessary to part with 1500 shares of DGIV (about a tenth of my total holdings) and I was even loathe to do THAT much. In closing out my BIG portfolio, I was able to reap 50% gains on most of those stocks, point being, DGIV is worth at least a 100% gain from here once it gets rolling with the above NC&F. I feel SAFER being invested in DGIV at this time, than any Blue Chip and will wait & watch the rest of this year to selectively re-enter the Big Board market at the opportune time. As Mark? said: "Now is the time to buy" (DGIV) because it is one of a handful of OTC's that has all the right ingredients of a good company: 1) Viable Product & Services 2) Good management & strong leadership 3) Good business strategy 4) good distribution channels overseas which will benefit from DGIV 5) Focus on a particular (overseas) sector 6) Financials imminent 7) loyal shareholders who believe in the company Diana (loyal DGIV shareholder)
