Starting to sense we have hit the bottom at these levels. I see a mad rush to 10300-10600 by the end of 2008. Why? Several key reasons, the inflation issue is out the window now. Commodity prices have tanked. Earnings are very bad which are baked in the market. Many bears are out there saying we will hit 6000. The point is everything has gone wrong in the markets since the bailout. The economy has pushed the reset button and took us back 3-5 years. The blame game is not going to solve the problem. Between high oil prices, loose banking policies, and greed destroyed the world economy.The Fed. under Greenspan cut too deep causing the US DOLLAR to devalue and allowing banks to overlend. It was a Ponzi Scheme. Many made alot of money in the early stages with real estate, flipping, now the rest are in the hole. In a strange way this is good for keeping everyone in check. The spending was getting out of hand for the public. Remember when everyone is doing the same thing, do the opposite. Now everyone is bearish. The USA economy has been in a recession for over a year. I see 2009 has the bounce back year. One thing I like is that the EURO is falling, which is a very good sign to recovery. You need a strong US DOLLAR and low Oil prices to pave the way. Keep the faith and remember in 2 years for now...12000-13000 levels will be back. Love the small-caps at these levels.
