>>Katherine, I had assumed you were both smart and rich, after your fortunetelling the market I was ready to give you goddess status. << Nope, just a good memory. The drop Friday reminded me of 1987, as did the good solid bounce today. If you believe in that parallel, we're headed into a brief but nasty visit with Mr Bear. For myself, I'm just quietly maintaining my asset allocation ratios. Lucky for me, I've been beefing up my cash holdings lately. Unlucky for me, I've got a good-sized chunk in international stuff. But I've got a long enough horizon to ride this out, and I don't have the time or the stomach for day trading anyway. Katherine
