[quote=scaredycat]take alook at those grpahs from the depression. right after the crash in 1929 there was a pretty steep rebound. bear traps suck you back in. the old way of doing business is over. the consumers are not going to consume oour way out of it. there will be profits in the future, but it wont be the way it happened before. the dow will hit 5,000 within the next 30 months.[/quote]
Don’t say that. One of my small pleasures of late is checking my 401(k)’s numbers after work. I’m back to maybe 80 percent stock exposure. (I’m still closer – in age – to 30 than 35).
