    lol thats pretty funny because bears have been saying that all year

    emerging markets still havn't emerged completely. Once they have 'come out' they will no longer be emerging and become 'normal markets'. Maybe then there will be a correction? :confused:

  2. You dummy, when a correction hits all your year's gains will be wiped away.

    Honestly, how do you generate income since your entire net worth is $100k and that's barely enough to scrape by on for two years for a single guy with any form of decent lifestyle?

    You have to live with your parents, right? :confused: :p

    If not, just explain how you live on your miserly gains on that net worth. Otherwise I'll assume I'm correct and you live with your parents in a trailer park. Thanks twinkie fucker. :D

    Roger Nusbaum submits: A must read for me every Monday is John Hussman's weekly commentary.

    This week's was an especially good read. He spelled out a little market history comparing the current state of the market to past, similar periods:

    # December 1961 (followed by 28% market loss over 6 months)
    # January 1973 (followed by a 48% collapse over the following 20 months)
    # August 1987 (followed by a 34% plunge over the following 3 months)
    # July 1998 (followed abruptly by an 18% loss over the following 3 months)
    # July 1999 (followed by a 12% loss over the following 3 months)
    # December 1999 (followed by a 9% loss over the following 2 months)
    # March 2000 (followed by a 49% collapse in the S&P over the following 30 months)

    According to Hussman those periods all share the following with today:

    # The price/peak-earnings multiple is above 18.
    # The S&P 500 index (on a weekly closing basis), is at a 4-year high.
    # The S&P 500 is 8% or more above its 52-week moving average (exponential).
    # Treasury and corporate bond yields are rising.

    Hussman is quick to point out that he is not trying to make a prediction but it trying to create a context for current market events.

    This is an important distinction. The market can go in any direction, at any time, for any reason, or no reason, at all. The general tone of Hussman's article ties in with what he has been writing for a while, but the bullet points sum it up nicely.

    Clearly these sorts of obstacles can exist for a long, long time without hurting the market. This is an argument for not making big bets to get out of the market for fear of a correction, bear market, crash or whatever else. I continue to be bearish (have been for a while and have been incorrect), but am so without missing the market. My trigger point for taking action is simple (a breach of the 200 DMA by the S&P 500), and this has not been violated, so I ride along skeptically thinking a turn will come soon.

    Bear markets come so infrequently that guessing about the next one in a meaningful way is likely to be the wrong trade. Hussman creates a great background of what stocks must continue to overcome in order to go higher. The things Hussman cites, perhaps subprime, the dollar, or even something else will cause the next bear market at some point, but time devoted to trying to nail the top is probably not productive.

  10. Someone fart in the happy juice? Little bit of weakness and lack of buying conviction showing.
