Where are you ? You are not keeping me up on my portfolio. Can you tell me the prices of Bank of America, Citicorp, Wachovia , AIG International, Chevron, Exxon, Conoco Phillips, Pepsi, Coke, Altria, Proctor and Gamble, MMM, Caterpillar ??? Where are you when I need you. Are you crying in your tequilla on your cold linoleum floor ???? I am not gloating, even though it may seem that way. I apologize to all if if I offend. My point is sometimes it does pay to buy straw hats in the winter. Buy low, sell high. The stock market is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT beast than the real estate market. It is a game of psychology and KNOWING the underlying factors effecting prices. The last 10 days was all about hedge funds and private equity forced to sell stocks at any price to raise margin. This was a Wall St phenomenon and not a Main St issue. Exactly like 1987. My crystal ball is always cloudy so I can't tell you what will happen next week or next month BUT I have extreme confidence in the future.
