      Market Outlook: Watch Out, the Signs Can Be Deceiving
      The experience of Asian banks after the 1997 financial crisis might be instructive. In the case of banks in Hongkong, the rebound was quite swift. But in the case of Thailand, most banks made a swift rebound after a year, only to fall for a second bottom lasting 8 years. Some banks have not returned to their 1997 levels, after 10 years. Which category would the US banks fall into? Check out some charts on my site.

      Best and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD
      WMT is the news of the week. Finally a breakout after three years of bottoming. This is either a bullish signal or a tease. A week or two should give some indication.

      I would agree with the Missouri man. This forum is no place for moaners, whingers,and the otherwise innumerate. I hope this site doesn't descend to the depths of yahoo message boards. Once again, a challenge for the editors of the site exists. Please edit detritutus.

      'gargantuan' is a great word. But the author is most likely on pantagruelian.

      An Abundance of Bottom Calling
      No point guessing a bottom. It (the bottom) will announce itself in good time: months, perhaps a year. In the meantime, take a holiday, take up a hobby, distract yourself and remember the great rabellaisian maxim, "interpone tuis interdum gaudia curis".

      Whatever the point was we shouldn't have to guess at it. The editors of this site should be stricter in publishing such unfinished work.

      Don't Buy (Sell) The Bear
      True, earnings have doubled since 2001. But more interesting, earnings are almost double those of 1999 when the index was at a comparable level to 2007. As to whether that 100% will repeat again in the next so many years, that's quite an assumption.

      Interesting to see a combination of technicals and valuations.

      as to the f sharp minor, this reader would prefer to see the bear march to the tune of op.53.

      20 Year Snapshot of Asset Class Returns
      The pattern looks like total randomness. The consecutive years for the Div portfolio and Large core fit within the expectations of randomness.

      Vanguard Gets Gold Medal for ETF Growth
      With luck, Vanguard's success will start an expense cutting trend among ETF providers. Why should I buy EFA when I can buy Vanguard's equivalent for half the expense ratio? I guess it's just a matter of time before investors start doing the compounding sums and work out what percentage the expense ratio becomes of, say, 100% profit over ten years. 0.7% works out at something like 10%.

      2007: How Did So Many People Miss the Signs?
      In one way, Bernstein was right back in the late fifties. The S&P, in the years from 1959 to 1982, yielded a (geometric) average return of around 3.3%. That's more than twenty years of stagnation and a scenario that index fund buy and hold advocates do not take into account when reviewing the past 10 years of index performance.

      2008 ETF Predictions
      "Wait for the wisest of all counsellors, time". So O'Shaughnessy quotes Pericles. But O'sh says nothing of ETFs. How long will it be before the wisdom of investing in ETFs, and in particular, Global ETFs, consumes the retail market?
