Not going to happen until after the November election. The Feds will pull out every trick in the book to keep financial markets up and cruising like we are in a recovery.

I agree. It seems that 13,000 has been picked as the magic number to maintain. So, don't expect much variance from that number. Everyone knows the stock market is purely fake and manipulated. Has been for a long time. No volume, because no one is actually investing there anymore. Just hedge funds and traders exchanging shares, and then the government injects when necessary to prop it up. It has become a good source of humor, but not good for anything else. We are in some deep deep shiite, with no recovery possible, and even the common man knows it and feels it. A common savings account or under a mattress, is a safer place to put your money.

I am looking for the top and I will pull everything I have out, perhaps late September? Then wait for a March 2008 event and buy bargains.
