I remember the DOW breaking 1000 when Nixon was in office, then things started to slide with the ’72 Oil Embargo. Jimmy road that wave all the way to a loss in ’80, all the while accusing us of “malaise”. Reagan handed Voelker the reins at the fed, and told him that he’d pay the political price of beating inflation, and we rode that wave up through today, with a few other anomalies added to the mix. I forget the exact number, but the DOW had at least quadrupled by the time RR left office, and then there was Greenspan. These are interesting times folks.

Mutual fund outflows in Jan, Feb are a factor. Those people obviously listened to Chris Scoreboar., while some of us were mesmerized by the Kudlow, BoB Brinker, and didn’t heed his warning. So its easy for Chris to not panic because he hopefully followed his own advice and isn’t down for the year.People watching their retirement accounts may worry that near 20% correction in S&P 500 may be a harbinger of the 50% correction from 2000-02, and some people may want to diversify if they are 100% stocks.

Of course, it may be good time to DCA into banks,etc. Even I was the fool for buying WAMU a few days ago, expecting a surprise 0.75 Fed cut will cause 20% pop. Now we need a 50% pop. Of course, I was lucky that I panicked last August and sold WAMU at 33.

"The sharp declines in stock markets in the first few weeks of the year prompted investors in the US – the world’s largest mutual fund market – to pull a net $32.9bn (€22.4bn) from equity funds in January, the worst month of outflows since July 2002." http://www.financialnews-us.com/?page=ushome&contentid=2449887526 I heard that Feb was also neg.

Hmmmm. 8000… That’s going to be pretty hard to swallow. I would think the gov would definitely intervene by then in epic proportions, don’t you?

What would they do about it? You can’t force people to buy equities. I can imagine the PPT being deployed, but that can only work so much.

Not to mention, most of you employees on this board would be jobless?

How so? If the stock market is a bubble as well the only people that will be losing their job are stockbrokers and fund managers. If my company is doing the same amount of business and its stock falls 50%, it doesn’t mean I’ll lose my job. It just means the stock was too pricey in the first place.

This reminds me of all the hoopla about hedge funds imploding. So what. They can afford it. And for everyone one that implodes there are probably at least two others that were playing an inverse position and making bank. Heck, the greatest hedge fund returns in history were set this year shorting mortgage backed securities.
