Dave,
this recession thing is starting to look a little scary.
Thank goodness I was not a Bernie Maddoff mouseketeer, but nevertheless my securities are looking very insecure. How do you manage doing what you do? The markets are just in a neurotic state at the moment. I’m not talking real estate, that has done better than most other markets, but stocks and bonds are in the toilet circling…circling…
Any pearls of wisdom?

DIBS, I love it!

What was throwing out the “D” word up in the Another One Bites The Dust thread…now he peeks in here with a different cut and paste….

Here’s some of your own cut and paste medicine What…

But I guess you know more than Leuthold…..

March 4 (Bloomberg) — Steve Leuthold, whose Grizzly Short Fund returned 74 percent last year betting against U.S. stocks, said now is the time to buy equities because investors are too fearful about the economy.

“These comparisons people make with the Great Depression are totally out of touch with reality, and pretty stupid,” he told Bloomberg Television in an interview today. “We’ve been in much worse, much more panicked and more scary situations in the U.S.”

The economy isn’t as bad as it was in 1974, when stocks began rebounding, said Minneapolis-based Leuthold. He predicted the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index will surge to at least 1,000 in 2009, representing a gain of 44 percent from yesterday’s 12-year low of 696.33

Cute DIBS!

Speaking of sisters…Where is BRG, and when is she done with that silly trip!
