If I was any more relaxed I'd turn into Zenyatta.

Of course, having an ice-cold bottle of Trumer Pils next to the keyboard doesn't hurt


Anyway, more confident than ever that this is just another correction in the powerful OBAMA stock market rally which began in March of '09.

In fact, looks like a mighty fine time to BUY into some short-term market weakness … so that's exactly what we did a short time ago.

25 large worth of Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund shares, to be precise


Look for that broad market index to make new yearly highs in the coming months


Randall, jms62 and the other DOOMERS can keep their money under the mattress…

Ah, more knuckleheads riding the big guy.


Your little metaphor is cute, dala … but a bit misguided.

You see, we haven't even reached that backstretch yet.

Finish line is nowhere in sight at this point…


And randy … have a feeling that I'll be looking for someone to trim the shrubs at my Oahu estate at some point down the road.

I'll certainly keep you in mind.

The good news is that we haven't reached the backstretch yet. The bad news is that your horse is being pulled up.

We're so used to the market always coming back that some people assume that every correction is a buying oppurtunity. That's not always the case. Look at the Japanese market. It was over 40,000 back in around 1989. Here we are 21 years later and what's their market at now? I haven't checked it lately but I think it's around 10,000.

The same can be said about our real estate market. We hit a high a few years ago that we may never see again in our lifetime. If we do, it will probably be in 40 years from now.

Anyway, I've had money in the stock market practically my whole life and I am totally out of the market right now. I think there is very little upside (5-10%) but there is huge downside (50-60% or possibly more).

P.S. It's not "Pumpkin". It's "Pupkin". He was the main character in the movie "The King of Comedy".

It was an honest mistake.

I'm sure he just assumed that you're from the SEC.

Nice timing Senator!

At least property values are down as well, including that Ohahu dream home.

Time to double down?

I'd like to short the market right now but it looks so oversold short-term that I'm not going to do it. I'm going to wait and hope we get a bounce. I'd like to see a bounce back above 10,000 and preferably in the 10,200-10,500 range. I hope I don't miss the big move down while I'm waiting for the short-term bounce.

RP, you sound like a smart guy and your short-term take on the market is as valid as anyone else's … but let me ask you this … do you think a guy like Buffett would've gone ahead and spent tens of billions of dollars to purchase one of the largest railroad companies in the country … as he did last Feb … if he thought the long-term outlook for the U.S. economy wasn't all that great?


And dellinger … quick question … do you have any experience mowing lawns?

Railroads are infrastructure. When all else fails infrastructure remains. It would seem to be a stretch to say that this is a sign of recovery.

Buffett is obviously an extremely bright guy, to say the least. But there are differing opinions about what is going to happen over the next several years. There are several really smart people like Dent and even Krugman (a liberal), that think we are going to go into a depression. There are other really smart people that think things will be fine. We'll see what happens.

The guy I have the most confidence in is Dent when it comes to long-term calls. He can be off by as much as a year or so when it comes to timing, but his long term calls based on deomographics are usually right. I've never seen him as confident as he is right now that the market is going to crash. And you have to remember that he was as big of a bull as anyone over the last 20 years. He's not one of these guys that's usually bearish.

Yea I mow once a week.

but if you keep your timing up I'll give you a few bucks to mow the lawn once a week. Of course the work is seasonal, I don't provide health insurance the lawn mower's self-propel doesn't work and you'll be paid in cash so no unemployment.

BTW No illegals or anyone who needs work breaks for prayers! Christians, mu slums whoever.
