Brad - I feel pretty much as you and Joe. Guess I'm looking for reenforcement. Thus far I've managed to resist the impulse to go long bonds because I felt there was too much danger there for a reversal. I am always willing to give up a few % points of possible profit. I think preservation of capital first and generally make bets only when I feel the odds are greatly in my favor. This dates back to my days as a regular horse-player. It was the only way to remain a regular. Ralph

Have to agree- looks like panic buying in the bond market. All that cash that's come out of the market has to go somewhere. Glad I got my bond investments in last month. For the Dow theorists- New 52 week low on the Transports today. Don't forget that the transports led on the way down (which is still the direction I believe). Looks like the Transports will soon be testing their lows of last April. See chart: quote.yahoo.com^DJT&d=2ym OTOH: My NASDAQ THDMAMFP indication is very close to reversal territory (@1490). Expect that we'll probably broach this level soon, then rally back towards the 200 day MA. Something to ponder: Dow Utility index keeps setting new highs. IMO, this won't last. Wonder if folks realize that the DJU lost 68% between 1929 and 1932. They are not a safe haven. BWDIK, (just historical facts) TW
