The FED has eased three times and is likely to ease again. Domestic interest rates are still too high. Foreign money is coming into the US in truckloads to the safety of the US bond market which drives the yield down. When that yield goes below 5% then the domestic bond money moves to stocks. There are still a lot of so called money managers that missed the run from 7500 DJ to 9000. There will be no second chance. They will buy and buy aggressively on any pullback, regardless of how small. The money has to be invested in 1998. This is Dec, 7. Do the math!! It is very possible that the DJ can hit 10,000 by the end of Dec. Look at CPQ as an example of the action. This is the most heavily trader NYSE stock and it is up some 12-15 points since Oct. 8. Any one shorting big tech stocks is playing a very high risk-low reward game, IMO. The pros were the ones who sold in Aug/Sept to have cash for redemptions which never came. They all have the same mind set and so when the selling began it just snowballed for no fundamental reason which is the reason it bounced back so quick. Now the market is at 9000, they are cash heavy and very WRONG. The small investor invest in mutual funds, etc. for the mangers to then invest that money in the stock market!!! They do not invest for the manger to invest in cash money markets!!

<<For example, it is well know and admitted by the analysts that during the big selloff the small investors hardly sold. ...OK the same big boys who were selling were also the ones telling people to buy during the selloff, with the normal disclaimer of "for the long haul" - BUT THEY WERE SELLING!!!!!!!!!>> During the start of the big selloff, there were articles about how you couldn't time the market, and it was important to stay in. I find it interesting in the last week or two to see a number of these articles again, implying that the stock market would rebound again from another selloff.
