Dear Mark,
I do not want to quibble...I was viewing the Hurst Fourier post and I
could have mis-interpreted it...it sure looked headed to 6500 by the
end of the year [2 months]. If I am wrong I will accept the heat for
misinterpretation.
Like I said rationalizations often end up as good as the coin toss.
My money is where my mouth is selling well positioned puts
[uncovered] in stocks that I would add to my portfolio if they were
put to me.
Plus long term Mutual Funds with terrific track records even through
the 70's.
Plus some stocks that I have liked for years and picked up at bargain
prices.
Plus some well performing S&P and Nas Mechanical trading systems.
Respectfully,
John

That's clearly a longer term (3-6 month) possibility.....and cannot be
ruled-out or discounted.
Shape of the yield curve, personal and commercial bankruptcy levels,
level
of the US dollar, and treasury/corporate bond yield spread all will
have a
high correlation with that pessimistic projection as it can only
reflect
continued a continued deflationary economy.
Watching the actions of Bush's "crack" economic team is also an
indicator-of-sorts to watch.
No question there has been a rise in the volatility of economic and
earnings
forecasts recently.....
with Barron's noting wryly that AMD could either triple in the next
year
(stock price) or go bankrupt.
