    Investor Sentiment and Market Returns: Now's the Time to Be Bold [view article]
    With the shifting of wealth to the middle east. Loss of spending power to the middle class and failure of this administartion to protect this economy my expectations are low. We face a retiring baby boom generation high living/energy costs and non-self correcting markets. Your model goes back to 87 not much of a history. I'll invest defensively if at all and live to invest another day. Reply

    If you listen to knowledgeable economists (not talking head pundants) the fundimental problems we face are unusually challenging. These problems banking, energy, national debt are severe enough to require Goverment actions not seen since the great depression (the markets are no longer self correcting). Looking forward the retiring baby boom generation and exit of wealth to the middle east will put added stess on our monitary system and stock markets. The past eight years of inflation and record deficits have left us I'll prepared to defend this economy. The middle class the economic back bone of the country has been nuetered by the loss of spending power through lost real wages, soaring living costs and record personal debt. It gives me no confidence that this admiistration has a list of failures that have occured on their watch. I'll stay liquid and invest defensively. I'd rather miss 10% upside than incure the possible downside. Reply

    If we were looking at a chart from a physics or chemistry experiment, I might believe this data. However, there are simply too many variables to account for in a global economy. This data may be a piece of the puzzle but it seems illogical to rely on it too much. EOM

    The problem is, there are certain unprecedented actions and events taking place right now, which render past historical models useless.
    This includes but is not limited to the Fed's activities, and also the paradigm shift of strength from the U.S. toward China and other emerging markets.

    I've used this indicator for years and what you really want to see is a market rally and the number of bulls staying low. That indicates that individual investors have given up. Bulls were down in the low 20s at the January lows but as the market rallied, bulls jumped quickly into the mid 30s. If we get a rally and the number of bulls stays in the 20s, the bottom is probably in. Reply

    There are bold pilots.

    There are old pilots.

    But there are no old, bold pilots.

    Sentiment on the Titanic was BULLISH before it sank. Time to buy now or real soon. Reply

    Bold may turn into early. This recession will be like a saucer but may be a fruit bowl if the housing market doesn't pick up until 2010. Either way consumer resources are diminished without home equity. Reply

    No doubt market sentiment is bearish. The question is whether we're at the bottom of the bearishness (and the market), or will we beat the -37% record that now stands. And if so, when?

    If you believe, like I do, that the current recession will be moderate, but longer than average, ending maybe in late 2009 or 2010, this would not be the time to jump in the pool.

    The water could get even colder in the next few months.     Reply

    Myron,

    Very good point. Kevin Walsh (Fed governor) said:" You've seen one financial crisis, you've seen one financial crisis." History may not repeat itself. One should read history with that caveat in mind.

    One thing to keep in mind regarding the potentially low interest rates.

    It is only good for the economy if someone is willing to lend it out.

    So far just about all the money coming from the Fed is staying in the Banks, only trickles are getting out to thier best clients. High risk will not see any cash for some time.     Reply

    Fee Cuts Solidify Vanguard's Position as the ETF Cost Leader [view article]
    Excellent article. How's the performance of the Vanguard index funds versus comparable iShares (ie. tracking error from the underlying indexes)? Reply
