I agree. A drop in interest rates may boost the market short term, but unless earnings improve the market will continue to go down. And as we've seen with Japan, we could end up in a recession. ...tai

Barb: If low rates guarantee stocks go up, why is Japan down to 14000? The combination of real estate and stock market bubbles proved to be too much for those folks to deal with. The age of their population hasn't helped. An inability to admit failure and face problems head on has also contributed to the lack of recovery over there. Crazy though it sounds Japan should probably raise rates to get their economy and stock market going again. I agree with Bill. The bottom is in. The path of least resistance is higher, significantly higher. The challenge here is to find the Cisco (Class of '90) or Dell (Class of '94) of the '98 bottom. Regards, drakes353
