Not yet. I believe the RE market is going to be a huge drag on the economy but it won't really start to hit until maybe 2Q of next year. I foresee housing going WAY lower after that, with corresponding drag on the larger economy including the DOW, but it won't "crash" it on its own.

Hey, that graph looks exactly like the one in "An Inconvenient Truth" - you know the one where Al Gore gets in the lift
..... Hmmmmm. I'll bet that is just a generic graph - one graph fits all.

The market is getting a bit overbought right now--at least in the U.S. There's a lot of money going into the international mutual funds--Europe and Asia, which have been doing very well the past few years. There is still a lot of upside in Asia--and a lot of American Investment there. Maybe that's why the market is bullish. Also, the energy stocks and funds continue to do very well--the carbon emission issue is a great growth area for energy and technology companies.

14500.
So much for my strategy of diversification with a couple of oil/gas exploration investments this year. Back to the known quantity of the market with the next batch of funds. Jim

Look at that drop in the Dow from 2000 to 2003, before 911. Who says wars aren't good for the economy.

I am re-allocating mine (not all) into cash instruments. I will make no predictions, but I am VERY cautious.

Guess what there is only one game left in town. Thats the Stock Market, all the other markets RE, Bonds have had their runs while the Stock Market was in ther doldrums from 2000-2006.
If you notice that the finacnial news can be lousy and the Market still goes up. Back in 2004 if you said Boo the Market went down. The psychology has changed and it will be so until the end of 2008. If the Dems get in then there will be a shock, because the expectation will be that they will raise Taxes. What the Dems DON"T GET is that a 20% Tax Rate on Capital Gains is the incentive needed for Americans to SAVE their money and not blow it on cheap Asian Goods. I said 14250...and the Market remains volatile which is what makes Mother in Tucson happier than a pig in *****.

All right, 5 weeks left.
Anyone want to revise their bets. You've seemed a little gloomy lately, Dr. Lechter. What's up? |
