PMFJI Barbara but the burning theater brings up a "parody" I was told the guy who is labelled the "hero" by a interviewing TV news crew for dialing 911 was actually a "chicken" who choose to run and not fight the fire. In stock market parlance , could the "chicken" actually be a "bear" ? Drakes has many valid points to suspect the market has turned . The only unknown , though temporary , is the Clinton outcome . Just musing . Jim K.

Barb: You got me there with the burning theater analogy. No pithy comeback for that one. You're saying it's different this time, deflation could be the thing that makes you right. We'll see. Val: Yes, there are tons of "value" stocks out there in smallcap land at the moment but my long side money is going to go into things that have been acting relatively well since much of the beaten down stuff will probably take additional gas as the year draws to a close (I'll be shorting a basket of beaten down names in the next few weeks to try to take advantage of that.) Will cover those shorts Xmas week and go long some value stuff by New Year's to try to catch a lil' January bounce. It's a theory anywho... drakes353
