l think with your forecasts that you should be on the cover of business week one forecast would be the repeal of bear cycles. the second forecast is a smooth "exponential" bull cycle. "Analogous to a musician that doesn't lose his tune as the result of years of practice the stock market will become increasingly fine tuned in that 'mishaps' like corrections, crashes, and bear markers will cease." in order that there should be no mishaps there can no be excesses. of course the internet stock boom and the real estate related stock boom are things of the past according to your thinking. since you are expecting a parabolic chart of the s&p in five to ten years you are predicting a bear market now so that we can reach a low point in the market from which the market will rise exponentially. of course we can always have sector bear markets forever?
A bear market can't last forever because continuous revenue growth. Historically the stock market returns an annual return of 10% which correlates with increasing revenue growth of s&p500 companies. Since there is a small sell off today the bears are gonna post more often than usual
I think that is the most requested and important feature for this board currently. For some strange reason it has not been implemented yet. If ignores ->> implies invisible threads than the culprits will be far more hurt when ignored. Come on Baron, do something!! This is getting serious. Ursa..
while you have every right to post in whatever way you want don't think that you are sitting on a psychiatrist's coach and he is asking you to say whatever comes to your mind. if you want respect rather than just a platform to speak present your thoughts in a logical manner. it might help if you responded to particular disagreements with what you said in the orginal post instead of the above bears post more often on down days. (by the way do you any have proof that bears post more on down days. maybe they post more on up days because they feel like whining. of course if you are a professional whiner everyday is a good day to whine.)
For further proof of my original statement look at a five year chart of the dow. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=^DJI&t=5y&l=off&z=m&q=c&c= The so called subprime liquidity crisis only resulted in a retraction of just 1/8-1/10 of the entire graph. Thats it. It shows just how volatility is becoming a thing of the past.
