>>>>> don't be so sure this is not the "new" norm.

yes, no, maybe
but you make excellent points

>>>I see the market becoming even more volatile, with "corrections" such as the October one, and "bull runs" following, coming much more often, than in the past 20 year

agree 100%

>>>on stops ... thanks Ron for the feedback on I have great respect for your views ... you see much more in depth than I

<<My plumber, my electrician, my Ford friend, my pilot friend, a night waitress, and over New Years Eve, "many" people that I partied with ... asked "How do I get started with online trading". This is beginning to sound like the cover of Newsweek, which in the past, has been an accurate predictor of the END of a trend. Or, it could be the continuation of one of the new paradigms.

Paradigm #1 - mutual funds, stocks, etc have replaced CD's, MMF, etc as the investment vehicles of choice for generations X, Y, Yuppies, Huppies, Baby Boomers, and even to some extent, the older folks (hi ron).

Paradigm #2 - the internet, following on the heels of the computer, transforming the marketplace, informations place. In the beginning, there was nothing. Then Ford mass marketed the automobile, and we could travel beyond our little towns. Then came radio/TV - and the world was open to us in our living room, from LaGuardia reading the comics to CNN covering the bombing of Iraq live. And then came computers/internet - and everything is available to us right here at our desk.
