Mary: Thanks for the nice remarks. They are appreciated. None of us are likely going to be able to call the precise timing on this, but here's an amateur guideline that I like. In most crashes, the following things usually occur and in this order: 1. Commodities crater 2. Producers (benefitting from lower commodity prices), either maintain or even increase production. Over-production leads to price wars. Plant closings and lay-offs ensue. 3 World-wide shipping slows 4. Bond prices fall 5 Stock prices tank. 6. Economy contracts 1 through 4 have already occurred. Best, Earlie
